Vintage Classroom Poster - The Wild Swans - 1962

The Wild Swans - 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 Wild Swans and is listed under the category of Stories and Verse. This is a beautiful illustration of the Hans Christian Anderson story that about a princess who rescues her 11 brothers from a spell cast by an evil queen. The image shows the princes, as swans, carrying their sleeping sister.

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.
