Etsy - CannyFoxVintage Collection Of Vintage Shell Nature Studies Educational Posters Mid Century Maurice Wilson Illustrations British Wildlife
Description
A collection of 4 mid century Shell Nature Studies posters, sold individually. Very interesting educational posters titled the Shell Nature Studies. Made by the Shell Gas company in the 1950s as part of an advertising campaign. Marked Painted by Maurice Wilson in collaboration with Rowland Hilder. These were engraved & printed by Henry Stone & Son. Each of these posters represents a different month of the year with a variety of British birds & animals. Underneath the illustration is a numbered diagram & corresponding text that explains what each item in the illustration represents, it gives some very interesting information. Very decorative illustrations! All are in generally good vintage condition. They have black metal strips at the top & bottom as well as a metal hanging loop at the top so they do not need to be framed, they are ready to hang straight on the wall (as they have been rolled up you might need to lay them flat for a while so they don't curl up when hung). They are printed on paper with a light gloss or lamination to the front. Light signs of age including very slight yellowing & some light marks at the top centre from where the hanging loops have been in contact with the paper (the loops are bendy & can fold down). I have another listing with different Shell Nature Studies posters illustrated by painter Tristram Hillier. Size: 51 x 75cm Each poster is part of a numbered series: 1 January Wildfowl 2 February Birds (there are a couple small marks at the top centre) 3 Wildlife in March (few small marks at top) 4 Wildlife in April Thank You for Shopping at Canny Fox Vintage If you have any questions on condition or would like any additional photos please message me & I will be happy to help.
