Est: £120 - £240
Original vintage travel poster for London Bus Excursions designed by notable Abram Games (1914-1996). Great illustration of a pigeon made out of paving slabs with smaller drawings of London tourist activities on top. Text reads - Bus Excursions On summer Sundays and Bank Holidays London Transport runs many bus excursions from all over London to such places as Windsor, Hampton Court, Burnham Beeches, Whipsnade, Chessington Zoo and London Airport. There are also special ramblers' bus excursions in collaboration with the Ramblers' Association and the Evening News (Fieldfare) These take ramblers out for a walk, in the country, and wait for them, but non walkers and non members can also enjoy the trip and a day in the open air. Fair condition, repaired tears, paper losses, backed on linen. Abram Games OBE, RDI (29 July 1914 - 27 August 1996) was a British graphic designer. The style of his work - refined but vigorous compared to the work of contemporaries - has earned him a place in the pantheon of the best of 20th-century graphic designers. In acknowledging his power as a propagandist, he claimed, "I wind the spring and the public, in looking at the poster, will have that spring released in its mind." Because of the length of his career - over six decades - his work is essentially a record of the era's social history. Some of Britain's most iconic images include those by Games. An example is the "Join the ATS" poster of 1941, nicknamed the "blonde bombshell" recruitment poster. His work is recognised for its "striking colour, bold graphic ideas, and beautifully integrated typography". County: UK, year of printing:1955, designer: Abram Games, size (cm): 100x63

ABRAM GAMES (1914-1996) FLY TO BRITAIN BY B.O.A.C. 1949. 30x19 1/2 inches, 76 1/4x49 1/2 cm. Condition A-: creases and abrasions at upper right edge and corner; minor abrasions at edges. Framed. In post-war Britain, competition between the different airlines was fierce, and so, the airline companies hired the best graphic designers in the field, such as F.K. Henrion, Ashley Havinden and Abram Games, to help them advertise. At the time when Games was creating a series of posters for B.O.A.C., the trend among artists was not to illustrate the actual airplanes (as had been the style in the thirties), but instead to advertise the advantages of flying, such as saved travel time. In order to capture these concepts, the designers created beautiful, symbolic and surrealistically-inspired images that quite poetically captured the abstract concepts they were advertising. Here, Games literally folds the map, narrowing the span of the Atlantic and ensuring a much quicker flight to Britain on the Speedbird. Another text variant says "Fly the Atlantic by B.O.A.C." (See Swann Sale 2510 Lot 156). Games fig. 125, IPA 51 no. 54.

This image is from a series he designed for the War Office in 1942 and 1943 that was intended to help prevent accidents. When the poster was reproduced in the World Press News in November 1943, it was noted that even small, and in black and white, the image "conveys an extraordinarily powerful impression" (Games p. 53).

Original Abram Games Poster c1955 - Holiday in Israel Sun Figure
Est: $600 - $900
After the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, the country sought to attract visitors from around the globe . In the inviting image by the great British graphic designer, Abram Games (1914 -1996) we view Israel as a land of sun and smiles. It utilizes the graphic style that Games was recognized for during his 6 decade career. Abram Games was one of the twentieth century's great graphic designers. His work is now a fascinating record of social history. For over 60 years he produced some of Britain's most memorable images including the ‘Blonde Bombshell' ATS poster of 1941. His clients included the United Nations, London Transport, British Airways, Shell, the Financial Times and Guinness. He designed stamps for Britain, Jersey and Israel, book jackets for Penguin books and emblems for the Festival of Britain and the Queen's Award for Industry. His influence even reached the infant television service in 1953 when he created the first animated BBC on-screen ident. In the Second World War he was appointed 'Official War Poster Artist' and designed 100 posters. Born into a Jewish family, Games like many other poster designers contributed their skills to help promote the new State of Israel. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
