Shell Posters The following group of Shell posters were predominantly produced during the 1930s when Jack Beddington was responsible for the company’s advertising. Under his direction, artists and designers contributed to innovative poster campaigns such as 'To Visit Britain's Landmarks' and 'These People Use Shell'. Shell quickly became a leader in British advertising during this period, exposing the public to contemporary British art and design via Lorry Bills throughout the country. Lots 17-37 are from the personal collection of the Marketing Director for Shell during the 1960s and 70s.
