Cruise By Orient Line. Circa 1935 40 x 24.75 inches. Baynard Press, London. Condition B: large abrasion in upper left corner with overpainting and possible restored losses; minor repaired tears in margins. In Poster Progress, a book published shortly before Wwii in London, this poster is featured with a comment by Tom Purvis: "The posters on this page show a distinct trend in poster design. The artists assemble material, combining photography and drawn design in some novel or striking arrangement. Richard Beck, with training in German Experimentalism, is successful in this method." This poster, combining photography and graphics, is a perfect example of this style. ref. Poster Progress, introduction by Tom Purvis, The Studio, London - reproduced p-93
