Publicidad Pregón, founded in 1952, is a small advertising agency in Bilbao. (Source: Pregón).

What a splendidly simple advert this is for the Hillman Minx, seen in an annual for 1938 and advertising the new year's model. Hillman was by this time, as can be seen from the London and Export showrooms, part of the Rootes Brothers empire that was mostly based in the English Midlands car city of Coventry.

 

The advert is uncredited in terms of artist but the initials CFH will stand for, I am sure, the major London agency of C F Higham.

A reminder of sunnier days and travel in this c1951 poster for the old British European Airways, one of the two 'State" airliners in the UK before the merger with BOAC and the eventual creation of British Airways. By 1951 the years of post-war austerity where starting to ease but even so, a holiday abroad and flying there would have been less than commonplace. The poster is by Geoffrey Salter and the campaign was handled for BEA by Colman, Prentice & Varley. The plate appears in the Penrose Annual for 1952.

An advert for advertising; and one that links together three important names in the history of UK advertising. It was issued in September 1927 following the British Advertising Exhibition held in London during the July of that year and is for the noted London based advertising agency of W S Crawford. The company was founded by William Crawford in 1914 and for much of it's existance was based in High Holborn; it's later HQ building with a striking stainless steel facade survives close to Holborn Tube Station. During the 1920s and '30s they maintained an office in Berlin and this speaks of the ready acceptance of continental practises and movements, such as the Bauhaus, on Crawford's approach to business for their clients.

 

One of the names most associated with the company at this time, and for the next two decades, was that of Ashley Havinden who had joined as a trainee in 1922 and who by 1929 was artistic director. Interestingly, the lettering in this advert slightly echoes lettering designed by Havinden for the important client of Chrysler Cars and that was later issued by Monotype as a commercial typeface. It appears that here, the German typeface Neuland, by Rudolf Koch and first issued in 1923 is used.

 

The advert itself is by Edward McKnight Kauffer who by this date was one of the most successful designers and artists at work in advertising. American born but since WW1 based in London, McKnight Kauffer's early break had come with commissions for Frank Pick at the London Underground Group and he became one of the more influential 'advertising artists' in the 1920s and '30s.

What a colourful cracker of an advert seen in the 1930 Advertiser's ABC and designed for Bird's by T B Browne Ltd, the advertising agency. The trio of birds were a common feature of the Birmingham based company for decades and even appeared in the factory's fencing in the city, a feature that has survived the move of production elsewhere and the reuse of the building. Alfred Bird, a chemist, first produced his form of eggless custard in 1837 and by 1843 had set up full time making this and baking powder. The company, and brand, are now synonymous with this milky dessert despite being part of a large combine for many years.

 

This advert looks strikingly like a contemporary McKnight Kauffer poster for the Daily Herald! Bird's used this motif as an effective logo for many years.

One of a portfolio of works produced as advertising for the New York shoe store of John Ward at 555, 5th Avenue, NYC in c1928 by the agency of Redfield, Downey, Odell Company Inc. The article descrobes this as "employing 'American' humour" but it is a fine silhouette in colour by Martha Bensley Bruère (1879 - 1953). It shows Hester Street, Manhattan, NYC, with rhyming tagline. Coincidentally it was at an address in this street where Jacob Epstein, the sculptor, was raised.

The entrance to the Chiat / Day office building on Main Street, Venice by Frank O. Gehry Associates dates from 1991. The binoculars were a collaboration with the artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.

 

Apparently the binoculars contain two meeting rooms toplit by the 'lenses'.

A page from the 1941 annual of UK wartime publicity that is an unusual record of the role of advertising and display in wartime. This page shows five press adverts issued in connection with the famous "Dig for Victory" campaign and the "Plough Now" that was aimed at farmers. Both were intended to increase the home grown output of crops both on a domestic and agricultural level.

 

All five come from the studios of advertising agency Charles F Higham & Co Ltd and all have some superb examples of scraperboard/Windsor Board illustration. No artist is credited but I wonder if the night-time ploughing scenes are by C W Bacon?

A bold, colourful poster designed by the agency CPV for BEA - just to complete the trio of trios - it was for the BIF! The British Industries Fair was an annual trade fair to promote British industry, by this date primarily held at the showgrounds developed at Castle Bromwich in Birmingham after 1920. The Fair was wound up in the 1950s and in 1960 the site started to be redeveloped as the Castle Vale housing scheme for the City of Birmingham. The poster, quite "Festival of Britain" in style, makes play on the arrow motif, with the rather clumsy BEA 'winged key' logo also shown.

For many years such train departure indicator boards were a feature of many major UK railway stations and, as people had to look at them, they formed an important placement for advertising creating one of the prime 'spots' for poster display and, therefore, revenues. As this advert shows it was common practice for railway companies to effectively 'let' the space to an advertising agency such as Benn & Cronin of London. They would manufacture and supply the 'furniture' providing space for the timetable information and then let the advertising keeping the revenue. This seems to have been quite common practise amongst the pre-Grouping companies.

 

However I suspect that after the Grouping of 1923 the Big Four were possibily starting to feel that this was revenue they could control directly and certainly by the 1930s the Southern Railway, for example, was bringing all external advertising contracts back 'in-house' where revenue accrued directly to them.

 

This board is in the old and now demolisged Bradford Forster Square station, run by the LMS. The main advert on the indicator is for the Cunard Line but typical posters for clients such as Radiation, Corah's "St. Margaret" knitwear, Solprufe dyes and Remington's typewriters are shown.

An advert for the famous brand of belnded whisky, VAT 69, produced by William Sanderson's of Leith in Edinburgh. The belnd was introduced in 1882 and for many years it was sold in this iconic bulbous bottle. The advert appears in a 1930 advertising manual and was the work of the agency T B Browne who had the Sanderson account at the time. In a way it feels curiously "English" but I suspect that was the market it was aimed at.
