Vintage Classroom Poster - Number 65

Sweet Peas - Ernest Aris

These vintage classroom posters date from 1938 and are from a series created by Enid Blyton in collaboration with a number of well known illustrators of the day. They were designed as talking points to be used in infant school classrooms. They conjure up the era perfectly; filled with children and nature subjects all in the styles and colours of the period. Jolly Times!

The posters have crisp, clear colours and are printed on heavy white paper. Most have signs of wear and marks around the edges but the central images are all in good condition. They have been stored flat which has protected the image and means no creases.

Sweet Peas is by Ernest Aris (1882–1963), a Fellow of the Zoological Society and author and illustrator of many children's books and cigarette cards.

These thirties prints look fantastic framed up and on display in both children's and adult rooms. This one goes well with Rabbits & Young Ones and Bees and Flowers, also by Aris and available in the shop.
