The German graphic designer Hans Schleger (Zéró) was born #OTD in 1898. Schleger designed posters, press adverts and bus stop posters for Shell. This press ad from 1934, was created to celebrate the results of the '1,000 Miles Race' held annually in Italy.

Good morning, John @JohnTizard & thank you, as always. Jack Beddington, who ran Shell's advertising department, would see a painting in an exhibition & then commission the poster. Here's "North Foreland Lighthouse" by Elwin Hawthorne from the collection @SHAC_Curator #ELG

Good morning, Alan. Thank you for sharing Elwin Hawthorne’s “North Foreland Lighthouse”. The East London Group artists’ work that were featured on Shell posters this painting demonstrate the special attraction of the Group’s art. You can understand why Shell commissioned them.

Can you guess what the London Zoo and Shell have in common? It's British wildlife artist and sculptor Barry Driscoll, born #OTD in 1926! Having painted three large murals for the London Zoo, Driscoll later realised several artworks for Shell, including 'Rutland' in 1961.

Today is Edward McKnight Kauffer's birthday! Born in 1890, the American graphic designer was one of Shell's most prolific artists. His works span many different styles, with hints to futurism, cubism, as well as impressionism. 'Stonehenge' and 'Summer Shell', 1931 🎨

Ah yes, Tom @tomemurtha how true! Here's an invitation to a Private View of Shell poster designs from 1934 along with the cover & an extract from the catalogue plus the listing of posters from 1931. The catalogue contains miniature posters, pasted in, as you'll see.#ELG

It's #InternationalMountainDay - enjoy 'Loch and Mountain' by Keith Shackleton, for Shell's 1983 calendar 🗻 Stunned by the view, the artist recalls "It was swept by curtains of sleet, sudden bright clearances followed by snow flurries that hid all and left a mantle of white."

'Flowers of the Countryside' - Shell's most popular publication, was illustrated by British artists Edith and Rowland Hilder and published in 1955. Its surprising success led Shell to later commission many more nature and wildlife studies by different artists. ('January', 1955)
