Negus and Sharland were a British design team that rose to fame on the basis of their 1954 day glo-colored poster campaign for BOAC. Throughout their design career they went on to design posters for Aer Lingus, the Orient Line, and the General Post Office, for whom they also designed stamps and aerogrammes (including an unrealized design for a stamp commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first flight of the Concorde). This 1954 series consisted of six separate destinations, including Caribbean, Middle East, Far East, Africa, Great Britain and USA.
