FREDERIC HENRI KAY HENRION (1914-1990) YOU'LL SEE / MURPHY TELEVISION. 1950.
221/2x161/2 inches.
Condition A-: minor tears and creases in margins. Paper.
In the 1940s and 50s Henrion worked actively for advertising agencies. For Murphy T.V. he did several campaigns, all using the television set with the slogan "You'll See", a distorted brand name and a web of concentric lines meant to represent the television waves, which represented technology that was such a new concept for so many people as television was still in its popular infancy. A rare and early television poster. International Poster Annual, 1951, p. 45 no. 46.
