A stunning range of art deco vintage retro style art poster prints of London’s famous landmarks, featuring the ‘London Collection’ of paintings by artist Joanne Short. Joanne Short’s paintings are reminiscent of vintage travel posters and vintage railway posters. The Gherkin Building & Bishopsgate Church, Big Ben, Westminster & The Houses of Parliament, The London Eye, Buckingham Palace, The Royal Albert Hall, Kew Gardens, Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Covent Garden, The Natural History Museum, St James’s Park, Trafalgar Square and The British Museum have all been painted by the artist and these wall art poster prints display the work perfectly.
The British Museum has also reproduced Joanne’s paintings as a new range of gift items and cards, all in the vintage poster style.
“The London poster range by established colourist painter, Joanne Short, is reminiscent of vintage Railway posters, her art lends itself to the iconic buildings and landscapes of London, and her use of line and colour perfectly captures the vibrancy and beauty of the city.”
The British Museum
In addition to Joanne’s collection, we feature a John Dyer art poster of his amazing painting of the Royal Albert Hall from Hyde Park. The painting is full of characters, colour and narrative, with a flautist (the artist’s eldest daughter, Martha-Lilly Dyer) and a cellist (the artist’s youngest daughter, Wilamena Dyer) performing in Hyde Park to a flock of green parrots.
We hope you find the perfect London poster in this beautiful new range. The posters are printed with archival ink on specialist matt art paper, so the print quality is outstanding and can last 100+ years in ideal conditions.
