Advertising of the 1920's was seen as tasteless. And this being a time of expression there was calling for beautiful design to give products real appeal.

London, Midland and Scottish Railway Company created some really break away ads in 1924, designed by Norman Wilkinson.

The ads produced (below) were modernist pieces of art in their own right, bold colours and simplified forms that made for very attractive visuals. During a time of industrial expansion and scarring of the country side, these ads gave the company the ability to romanticise the experience of traveling between the cities of Britain.
