Wheatstone's tape telegraph, 1858 - GPO poster by Eric Fraser, 1935
One of the wonderful series of posters and publicity issued by the increasingly confident British GPO from the 1930s onwards - often showcasing the new telephone and telegraphy technologies available - and confident not just in terms of 'product' but also the the boldness of the art itself - this in common with other leading publicists such as London Transport and Shell.
One of a series of posters by Eric Fraser, an artist best recalled for his engravings and woodcuts that graced many an advert or copy of the Radio Times.
