Dunlop Cord Union Jack

Frank Parkinson Newbould was an English poster artist known for his travel posters and Second World War posters. He was educated at Bradford College of Art and Camberwell School of Art. Newbould’s clients were amongst others London Transport, the Orient and the Cunard Lines. His work was characterised by bold shapes and colours. This is a Dunlop Cord tyres advertising poster. The Union Jack flag clearly identifies the tyres as British made and the poster states that Dunlops will leave you satisfied. Newbould clearly uses the visual language of a flag and tyre to bring his simple message across, the poster needs little text to support this message. Printing House Thos. Forman & Sons, Nottingham
