EDWARD MCKNIGHT KAUFFER (1890-1954) YOU CAN BE SURE OF SHELL. Circa 1930s. 30x44 5/8 inches. Waterloo and Sons, London. Condition A-: repaired tears in margins. Dinton Castle is far less dramatic, and contains the visual pun of the painting within the poster. On a large easel Kauffer uncovers the landscape painting he has just finished. His palette, which bears his signature, is still leaning against the work. It is one of the most humorous and playful images he delivered for Shell. Shell 60, Kauffer p. 132.
