This vibrant 1936 poster by Edward McKnight Kauffer, one of the most influential graphic designers of the 20th century, captures the energy and optimism of pre-war advertising. Commissioned by the International Tea Market Expansion Board, it was designed to promote tea consumption in the UK, featuring the whimsical “Mr T Pott” character and a photo of the singer and actress Gracie Fields enjoying a lovely cuppa.

Known for his bold use of colour, innovative typography, and striking photomontage, McKnight Kauffer’s work bridges fine art and commercial design, making this poster a perfect addition for collectors of vintage advertising and modernist graphic design.
