Electric (Cinema) Printing Co. Ltd.

These three posters from London’s Electric Printing Co. capture the bold, streamlined look of 1930s British screen ads, thick ink, simple shapes, and a taste of Art Deco flair. One untitled 1935 piece shows a cinema tower rising above a glowing marquee; a 1936 version uses flat color blocks to frame a star’s face. They’re everyday art meant to grab your eye before the movie starts.
