DESIGNER UNKNOWN YOU CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL. Circa 1950s.
26 3/4x55 inches, 68x139 3/4 cm. J. Weiner Ltd., [London.]
Condition A: minor tears and creases in margins. Paper.
From a scarce and previously undocumented series of work incentive / motivational posters published in London in the 1950s. Although anonymous, the designs bespeak a Modernist approach to graphic design and indicate an artist familiar with many of the prevailing tenets of photomontage, layout and typography. Among the recurring themes found in the images are "It's well worth the effort!" and "On top of your job - on top of the world."
