Lotus Delta Shoes Make Walking Pleasure
Original vintage advertising poster for Lotus & Delta Shoes: Enjoy “the sweet of the year” – Lotus & Delta Shoes – Make Walking a Pleasure. Great illustration by the British artist Michael Reilly (b. 1898) featuring a scenic view of an English valley in the countryside with a walking path in the foreground along an old stone wall past some trees and flowers and a traditional white cottage with the sun shining across the valley on the fields and small hills in the distance, the title text and extract from a poem by Robert Browning (1812-1989) above on a parchment style background: "Oh to be in England now that April’s here, And whoever wakes in England sees, some morning unaware, That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf, Round the Elmtree bole are in tiny leaf, While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough - In England - now!" Horizontal. Large size. Good condition, cracks and creases in margins.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.

Yes. Our gallery is based in London. Our address is 404 King's Road, Chelsea, London SW10 0LJ.
