PAUL NASH POSTERS

Paul Nash designed a number of posters for a variety of clients throughout his career. The following are the ones I have come across. I have not included the famous Leicester Galleries poster of 1918, as this simply reproduces his lithograph Void of War. The London Transport posters are repoduced with kind permission. Their site is at http://www.ltmcollection.org/
