Herbert F. Shuttleworth, Industrial poster designs, watercolour (10)
Herbert F. Shuttleworth (1898-1983), Fundamentally Thought Increases Production, initialled, watercolour and ink, unframed, 56 x 38cm.; 22 x 15in and nine other original poster designs (10). * H.F. Shuttleworth was born in Edgbaston, Birmingham and trained at Birmingham School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. All his working life, apart from during the two world wars was spent as an industrial draughtsman and designer. The posters in the next four lots were produced in Manchester, where Herbert Shuttleworth worked for Salford Electrical Instruments, a subsidiary of G.E.C., until his retirement in the 1960's. These poster designs are fascinating examples of the artist serving industry in the post-war period when great efforts were made to boost both the volume and quality of industrial output.
