We're In It Together. 28.75 x 36 inches. Henry Hildesley, London. Condition B+: creases and restoration in corners. Born in Germany, Henrion went to Paris to study with Paul Colin, and there discovered the works of Cassandre as well as the Surrealists, which gave him a taste for collage and photomontage. He moved to London in 1939 and quickly grew to be a prominent graphic designer. During WWII, he usedhis talents creating posters, supporting both the British and American war effort. He founded his own studio in 1951 and began working for clients such as British Leyland, Klm, and the London Electricity Board. Highly respected by his peers, Henrion was president of the AGI Alliance Graphique Internationale and a teacher at the Royal College of Art and the London College of Printing. This poster is an excellent photomontage, espousing themes both promotional and patriotic. Showing a General Post Office operator communicating with all kinds of British military personnel. The message, cleverly presented against a background of radio-waves, bespeaks modernity, efficiency and pride in the British armed forces.Britain's General Post Office had originally been in charge of telephone communication as well as mail, but that changed when privatization created British Telecom and the G.P.O was renamed RoyalMail.
