"Aluminium as a packaging material : advert issued by The British Aluminium Co Ltd : designed by Henrion: in Sales Appeal : November - December 1952
This advert appears in the November - December 1952 issue of the excellent Sales Appeal trade journal. The magazine dealt with matters relating to packaging, display, marketing and industrial design.
I'd be the first to say that Abram Games was a remarkable and, deservedly, much respected graphic designer but - it is grand to see another poster/press advert in this remarkable series issued by British Aluminium in the early 1950s by an artist other than Games! And it is by another of the greats of the time; Frederick Henri Kay Henrion. The already established German born designer moved to the UK in 1938 and here became both a teacher and practioner. He is noted as being responsible for some of the most noted and long lasting corporate identities for numerous companies as well as for advertising and publciity materials.
