Percy Drake Brookshaw (1907-1993) Horse Racing Original coach poster Lithograph 76x50cm A poster for advertising details of coaches to the horse racing events. Brookshaw was born in Southwark, in London, and educated at the Central School of Arts and Crafts. He was a particularly accomplished lithographer, skilled also as a painter in both oil and watercolour. Identifying the former talent, F Gregory Brown - the poster and textile designer - encouraged him to become an illustrator and poster designer. Producing posters for London Transport and Shell, inter alia, between 1928 and 1958, many of his posters depict sporting events. His two posters for the annual University Boat Race are well known and highly sought after, and his wonderful posters often evoke a feeling of movement, whether rowers straining on their oars, or horses or greyhounds racing.

Born in Germany, Schleger was an influential graphic designer. After serving during the First World War, he studied at the Berlin Kunstgewerbeschule, being taught by Emil Orlik. The same year Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus at Weimar and Schleger learned the same principles of breaking down the barriers between architecture, design, fine art and craft. A firm believer in the Bauhaus principles of simplicity in design and reduction to essentials, these may be seen in the clean lines of the roundel. In 1924 he moved to New York, applying Modernism to American advertising, and then returned to Berlin in 1929 working for the British advertising agency Crawfords, where he met Edward McKnight Kauffer who introduced him to Jack Beddington the head of advertising at Shell Mex...
