Overview

From the 1930s onwards the Post Office became a leader in the field of poster design, commissioning some of Britain's leading artists: Tom Eckersley, Jan Lewitt and Edward McKnight Kauffer to name but a few. Publicity campaigns used posters to communicate now familiar messages including 'Post Early', 'Pack Your Parcels Carefully', and 'Always Remember To Use Your Postcode'.

Purchasing this virtual gift will allow for housing a poster within a protective transparent pocket and the production of a high resolution digital scan of one of these much loved items - enabling safe handling of the poster and availability of a good quality image for educational purposes.

This is a virtual gift meaning the recipient will not actually receive a poster. Your donation will go towards supporting the full range of the BPMA's conservation, cataloguing and access work.

You will receive a greetings card including information explaining how we could use your donation to which you can add your own personal message along with a Tom Eckersley poster fridge magnet.
