Vintage Classroom Poster - The Old Man and The Goat - 1962

The Old Man and The Goat - Today & Tomorrow Poster Series - 1962 - E.R Boyce

The Today and Tomorrow series was a collection of posters, curated by Boyce, and issued to primary schools in 1962. They are characterised by their attention to detail and bright colours and look great framed up and displayed in a modern setting.

This one is called The Old Man and The Goat and is listed under the category of Stories and Verse. This is a traditional tale and illustrated here in the style of Russian folk art. The old man chases the goat out of the corn field with a large stick. The goat looks irritated rather than afraid and the other forest animals look on.

Dimensions: Overall 53cm x 43cm Image size 48cm x 38cm

There are a few classroom prints in this series that work well together. Head to the shop for Clearing Up, Playground and Indoor Play amongst others.

The posters have crisp, clear colours and are printed on heavy white paper. This print has been stored flat which has protected the image. There is a good margin around the image and details of the series and publisher are in the bottom corners.

They look fantastic framed up and on display in both children's and adult rooms.
