Derry Toms McKnight Kauffer
Rare original vintage advertising poster for the London department store Derry & Toms in Kensington: Now proceeding Summer sale at Derry & Toms Kensington W8. Stylish and colourful early design by one of the most renowned poster artists of the 20th century Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954), featuring sailing boats racing in a regatta with the text box below, communicating a fresh summer feeling through a mix of Japanese woodcut, expressionist, and Fauvist influences. Derry and Toms (1860-1973) was founded by Joseph Toms and his brother in law Charles Derry and the company opened their new Art Deco style department store building in 1933, which is now a Grade II Listed Building and still home to the Kensington Roof Gardens on the 7th floor.

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.
