Plakatentwerf/Poster Designs by Oleg Zinger : for London Transport : in Gebrauchsgraphik : Juni 1937 : Frenzel & Engelbrecher "Gebrauchsgraphik " Verlag : Berlin, Deutschland
In the June 1937 issue of Gebrauchsgraphik, the German advertisig art magazine, there are examples of the work of artist and designer Oleg Zinger and these include three example of posters he designed for London Transport. It is interesting in that is shows that London Transport, noted for its commissioning of posters and publicity, were casting their net outside the UK.
Oleg Zinger (1910 - 1997/8) was of Russian descent but had moved with his family to Germany in 1922 where he studied art and design. In 1948 he moved to Paris and continued working. Zinger's work for London Transport dates from 1933 until 1937 and of his two posters for the London Zoo, the lemur one is possibly best known. These three designs, including two more for the Zoo, do ot appear to have been issued by LT. The third, for the British Museum, is curious as it is almost identical to a poster Austin Cooper designed for the Underground Group and that was issued in 1928.
