British posters issued by the Royal British Legion for the Poppy Appeal in 1955. Designed by E. H. Spencer.
Spencer, formerly a captain in the British Army, was a graphic designer whose speciality seems to have been rail travel posters.
Another poster by Spencer (1955) promotes tourism to York, showing soldiers from different eras and an archbishop against Bootham Bar and York Minster.
Yet another by Spencer shows characters from York's history depicted above the city, flanked with heraldry.
