Born in Bradford, England, Frank Newbould studied at Bradford College
of Art and Camberwell School of Art. He designed many posters to promote
travel for the London and North Eastern Railway, Great Western Railway,
Orient (shipping) Line and Belgian railways in addition to his work
for London Transport. In 1942 he joined the War Office, where he was
assistant to Abram Games and designed the series of posters with the
slogan 'Your Britain: Fight for it Now'.
"A compelling design composed of unbordered color forms invites
us to cruise with the Orient Line. Newbould uses the colours excellently
harmonized for a pleasing effect. The balnk apace at the bottom was
evidently left for local agent's copy." (Rennert,
PAI-XVI, 386)
Newbould is best known for his wonderful pre-war travel posters.
