IHAP HULUSI GÖREY (1898-1986) EGYPT FOR SUNSHINE SPORT & GAIETY. Circa 1937.
39 1/4x24 1/2 inches, 99 1/2x62 cm. S.C. Allen & Company Ltd., London.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears and restoration at edges.
Born in Cairo to Turkish parents, Hulusi abandoned his parents' plans for him to become a diplomat and devoted his life to graphic art and painting. He studied in Germany before settling down in Istanbul, where he studied under Ludwig Hohlwein. In 1928, Turkey adopted the Roman alphabet (previously they had been using the Ottoman Turkish Alphabet, which was a version of the Arabic alphabet) and in 1934, president Kamal Attaturk asked Hulusi to design a poster of him teaching his daughter the new letters. Hulusi is renowned as the "first modern graphic desginer from Turkey," and also "the man who illustrated the Republic." This is the rarest/span of Hulusi's Egyptian travel posters. We were unable to locate another copy at auction.
