One of a series of works commissioned by the Leeds based company "The Bedding House of Rhodes" who sold under the trade name of Somnus from the Leicester based artist and designer Frank Gayton. As well as these rather fine posters, based on the themes of Good Night and Good Morning, Gayton also designed other advertising and publicity, such as showcards, for Somnus. The brand is still around, now part of the Yorkshire based company of Harrison Spinks.
Gayton (1893 - 1961) also designed packaging and other items of 'corporate identity' for several companies, including Leicester based Frears, the biscuit makers. The 1926 article that quotes this image notes his skills in lettering such as on this poster. Gayton, who headed an advertising agency based in Leicester, also designed a typeface for the London & North Eastern Railway in c.1923/24 that was also adapted for use by the typefoundry of Caslon.
House Bracken
Sigil - Red Stallion
Sworn to House Tully
After watching the awesome Game of Thrones series I became slightly obsessed with each of the House's and their identity or sigil.
Having found the houses and their representative sigils. I set about creating a vector for each one of them and creating a poster. I hope you like them as much as I do.

WORDS OF “ENCOURAGEMENT” for 2019 Chicago Marathon Participants from @DEPRESSIONPRESS MFG. & INK, INC.
--
Every fall, thousands of suspiciously eager Chicago Marathon runners head through the heart of Pilsen past Chicago Art Department. This year, we’re “proud” to display hundreds of signs featuring various words of “encouragement” hand-printed by two of the city’s most reluctant optimists—K. James Henderson & Dud Lawson of Depression Press Mfg. & Ink, Inc.
Join Kent (art) & Dud (copy) for an opening reception Friday, Oct. 11 from 6-10pm and come back the morning of Sunday, Oct.13 for booze, carbs, and a front-row view of the longest, most tedious sporting event in the Midwest.
Words of Encouragement on view Oct 11 to Oct 25
A fine, bold design this capturing a spirit of youth as well as the imagery of the Stars and Stripes. The poster design by F H K Henrion is understood to be for the exhibition that was staged in London in April 1944, boosting collaboration between the two wartime Allies. The exhibition was rrepared by the U S Office of War Information, with the support of the charity Toc H, and the poster printed by Multi Machine Plates of London.
The goal for this project was to create a promotional item that featured a classic typeface.
Another requirement was that the design needed to interpret a saying from Poor Richard’s Almanac using the typeface being featured, in this case, Sabon.
Poster pitching salary, free board, and free uniforms for anyone looking to become a nurse aka "The Most Honourable and Humane of all Professions".
Painted design by Noel Pascoe Lambert featuring a female Nurse in uniform.

Under the Health Act 1911 general, midwifery and mental health nurses in Queensland were registered and were to be given preferential employment in hospitals covered by the Hospitals Acts. A state syllabus, examinations and a common period of training of three years in a hospital was introduced. Within 12 months 1401 nurses were registered in Queensland.
In 1921 nurses formed the union Queensland Nurses Association under the Industrial Arbitration Act 1916 to advocate for improved conditions and wages. Nurses worked long hours and were poorly paid, with a senior nurse earning £103 per annum and a teacher £195 and clerks £182.[1] Senior nurses’ salaries were increased to £120-£160 in 1921. Hours worked were 112 per fortnight in 1921, reduced to 88 in 1925 and 80 in 1930.[2]
Under the Hospitals Act 1923 hospitals were categorised into three-, four- and five-year training hospitals, largely dependent on their size. Sectional exams at the end of each year were introduced, rather than a final exam in the third year. The syllabus was changed to cater for the additional years.

Nursing was derived from religious orders and the military. Early nursing uniforms reflected this beginning with veils like nun’s coifs and the militaristic use of epaulettes and stripes on uniforms to demark hierarchy. Uniforms were often pale blue with white aprons and mob caps typical of English servant attire. White symbolised hygiene, blue symbolised purity.
In Britain Elizabeth Fry established an Institution of Nursing Sisters in 1840 and three-month hospital training, but it was under Florence Nightingale that a hospital training school was introduced after the Crimean War (1853-1856). In Queensland the Florence Nightingale system of training nurses was established and the Brisbane General Hospital became the first training centre in 1886. Regional hospitals followed suit, while religious and private hospitals also provided training. By the end of the 19th century there were a large number of trained nurses throughout Australia, prompting the establishment of the Australasian Trained Nurses Association in 1899, with membership offered only to those with hospital accreditation. The Queensland branch was formed in 1904 and began lobbying for registration of nurses. Success came in 1912 when Queensland established a Nurses Registration Board for general, midwifery and mental nurses — the first of its kind in Australia.
Under the Health Act 1911 general, midwifery and mental health nurses in Queensland were registered and were to be given preferential employment in hospitals covered by the Hospitals Acts.

World War II exposed a shortage of nurses both on the war front and home front. Despite a recruitment campaign and a temporary shortening of training from four to three years, the problem persisted and Red Cross and Voluntary Aid Detachment nurses had to fill the gaps in hospitals. In 1943 the Nurses Award was amended, but despite that first-year nurses earned £65 (an increase from £33) while a 16-year-old shop assistant earned £97. A first-year Sister earned £175.
Nursing education changed in the 1960s when the Queensland Branch of the College of Nursing introduced post-registration courses, most of which had been available only in Melbourne. The Australasian Trained Nurses Association lobbied to improve the educational standards of nurses, making completion of Junior (Year 10) a required minimum-entry level. A major curriculum change in 1970 increased the number of lecture hours to 840, with six weeks preliminary training. Depending on hospital size, training would be three or four years long. Lectures were now held in hospital time. Post-graduate training also expanded and the positions of nurses’ aides and enrolled nurses were introduced.
The move to separate nurse education from hospitals gained momentum in the 1970 when a college course started in Melbourne. Queensland was the last state to introduce tertiary nurse training when in 1978 the Queensland Institute of Technology offered post-registration courses, followed by the first undergraduate course in 1982. Many hospitals were reluctant to change. By 1993 all nurses in Queensland were trained at university.
Until the 1950s nursing had changed little. Nurses were responsible for patient care, as well a cleaning patients and wards, preparing meals, making bandages, sterilising and counting equipment, sharpening needles, sorting linen and making beds. Patients were treated in large, open Nightingale wards. Organised as a dormitory with the sickest patients closest to the Sister’s desk, the only privacy was afforded by heavy screens. The average patient stay was 10 days but many stayed weeks. The only monitoring of patients was done by nurses on their regular rounds. Hospitals did not have electric beds and hoists — patients were lifted by nurses, at the expense of their backs.
Nurses’ shifts were long and every minute was accounted for on-duty, and supervised and monitored when off-duty. Nurses lived on-site in nurses’ homes under the watchful eye of the Home Sister. Life was regimented with a 10 pm curfew rigidly and punitively enforced. Social lives were restricted and males could not visit. Most socialising was with fellow nurses and the bonds made between nurses created friends for life. All nurses were single as up until 1969 married women had to resign.
The 1970s brought significant changes. Hospital orderlies, enrolled nurses and nurses’ aides helped with patient care. Meals were made in kitchens and brought to the wards. Sterilising departments were introduced, only to be followed by the era of disposable bandages and equipment in the 1990s.
Nursing has evolved from the medical model where doctors dictated care and nurses subserviently followed. Since the 1990s it has been a more collegiate approach with doctors, nurses and allied health professionals such as physiotherapists and occupational therapists working together.
The nursing structure is still hierarchical, but less authoritarian. There are now more levels with endorsed enrolled nurses, enrolled nurses and assistant nurses junior to registered nurses and those above. However, nurses now take a more active role in patients’ care, performing the tasks once assigned to junior doctors or medical registrars.
Nursing is now also more specialised, with nurses working in intensive care, mental health and palliative care wards, postnatal and prenatal clinics and day surgery units, among others. The average hospital stay is less than 24 hours; patients recuperate at home. As a consequence, those in hospital wards require more intense nursing.

Some things are such superb wee items such as this small poster 'stamp' from 1925 and issued for the "2nd Fachmesse der Deutschen bekleidungsindustrie. Berlin Ausstellungshallen, Kaiserdamm" or "2nd trade fair for the German clothing industry. Berlin exhibition halls, Kaiserdamm." It is a reproduction of a poster by "Erik" for the event and such miniature reproductions of posters were very popular at around this time. What this shows is firstly the very fine printing of this at such a small scale and secondly, the exciting nature of contemporary German graphic art and design at this time. Those of us schooled in the wonders of London Transport's design heritage, and other UK organisations, companies and institutions, really shouldn't be amazed at what was being undertaken elsewhere on the Continent in the 1920s and '30s and for many of those years German design was really cutting edge stuff.
I've 'posed' this next to a penny coin to show the scale of the work.
