Freedman
was a British illustrator and designer who produced
many posters and book jackets for clients such as LT,
Shell, the GPO and Faber & Faber. He was 'influential
in reviving and popularising colour lithogaphy as a
medium for book illustration' in the early 1930s. Some
of his most successful work was for the Limited Editions
Club of New York, including War and Peace (1938),
and his classic stamps celebrating George V's jubilee
in 1935 'were widely acclaimed by philatelists and public
alike'. Bartnett was a war artist during the Second
World War, and designed typographical posters for GPO,
including 'Telegraph Less, Telephone Less'.
