A chalk quarry with kiln roofs rises from green English hills

Bold cream lettering spells GODSTONE across a deep blue sky. Below, a green hillside gives way to a chalk quarry face in white, grey-blue and mauve, with ochre-yellow spoil banks and a line of small green wagons crossing on a rail track. Two black conical kiln roofs rise as silhouettes in the foreground, above a row of red-roofed buildings where a black steam locomotive hauls wagons past round-arched doorways. Two tiny figures cross the top of the quarry.

Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890–1954) was the most influential poster designer in interwar Britain. An American who settled in London in 1914, he brought Vorticism and Cubism to commercial art in more than a hundred posters for the London Underground, Shell and the Daily Herald, whose Soaring to Success flight of birds became a landmark of modern graphic design. He returned to New York in 1940. His work is held by the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museum of Modern Art.
