LMS Advertising

The early 1920's were known to be highly criticised for it's advertising. People accused it of being 'tasteless'. However in response this, Norman Wilkinson started to advertise posters, of which were commissioned by London, Midland and Scottish Railways, also known as LMS. However simple, the addition of a colour print along with the simplistic style of the image managed to hit with "bang", causing massive amounts of word-of-mouth and discussions about the adverts and the products itself. The post-war stylings used helped shaped the common years in advertising, especially post World War II, which changed the way we viewed the world.
