Original Vintage Poster Harwich Zeebrugge - Saves Packing Time Money by H.G. Gawthorn
Est: $1,500 - $2,500
This original vintage poster by British artist H.G. Gawthorn promotes the Harwich-Zeebrugge train ferry service, emphasizing its efficiency and cost-saving benefits. The tagline, "Saves Packing - Time - Money," succinctly conveys the practical advantages of this innovative ferry service, which streamlined the transportation of goods between the UK and continental Europe. The artwork features a striking composition, with a bold depiction of a train ferry carrying loaded freight trucks across the Channel. The clean typography and sharp lines reflect the functional and direct messaging typical of early 20th-century transport advertising. Henry George Gawthorn (1879-1941) was a British painter and lithographer renowned for his contributions to early 20th-century travel and transport posters. Born in Northampton, he pursued architectural studies at Regent Street Polytechnic and Heatherley's School of Fine Art in London. Transitioning from architecture to the arts, Gawthorn became celebrated for his vibrant poster designs, notably for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER). His works often depicted dynamic scenes of travel and leisure, characterized by bold compositions and a distinctive Art Deco style. Beyond his artistic creations, Gawthorn authored books on poster design, sharing his expertise and influencing the field. His legacy endures through his iconic posters, which continue to be appreciated for their artistic and historical significance. 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 our posters.
