The Yorkshire-based publisher Bamforth & Co started producing 'saucy' postcards in 1910. These cheeky designs became synonymous with the English seaside resorts where they were sold but were exported all over the world. After WW2 Bamforth artists began to satirise the classic comic archetypes that still resonate today

This is the first book to be published on one of the greatest American designers of the 20th century who was as famous for his work in film as for his corporate identity & graphic work. Saul Bass (1920-1996) created some of the most compelling images of American postwar visual culture. Having extended the remit of graphic design to include film titles he went on to transform the genre. His best-known works include a series of unforgettable posters & title sequences for films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo & Otto Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm & Anatomy of a Murder. He also created some of the most famous logos & corporate identity campaigns of the century including those for major companies such as AT&T Quaker Oats United Airlines & Minolta. His wife & collaborator Elaine joined the Bass office in the late 1950s. Together they created an impressive series of award-winning short films including the Oscar-winning Why Man Creates as well as an equally impressive series of film titles ranging from Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus in the early 1960s to Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear & Casino in the 1990s. Designed by Saul Bass's daughter Jennifer & written by distinguished design historian Pat Kirkham who knew Saul Bass this book contains more than 1 400 illustrations many from the Bass archive & never published before providing an in-depth account of one of the leading graphic artists of the 20th century.
