EDITORS COMMENTS
Makes the Hair Grow: A Glance into the Rejected Posters of John Hassall's Illustrious Career John Hassall (1868-1948) was a renowned British poster artist, whose works graced the streets and walls of London during the early 1900s. Known as the 'Poster King,' Hassall's designs were a testament to his exceptional creativity and artistic flair. However, not all of his ideas were welcomed with open arms by his clients. In this collection, we delve into a lesser-known aspect of Hassall's prolific career: his rejected posters. Although these designs were turned down by nervous clients, Hassall ensured they saw the light of day by featuring them in issues of The Poster magazine and The Sketch magazine in 1904. This charming series of prints, titled 'Some Rejected Posters by John Hassall - Makes the Hair Grow,' showcases a delightful assortment of these humorous and amusing creations. The posters, which were intended for various advertisements, display a range of humorous concepts, from a hair restorer promising 'growth' to a funny take on a 'hair-raising' experience. These playful designs, which date back to 1904, reveal Hassall's remarkable ability to inject humor into everyday life, making even the most mundane subjects intriguing and engaging. The rejected posters serve as a reminder that even the most brilliant ideas can sometimes be overlooked, but with a bit of determination and creativity, they can still find their place in the world. This collection is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of advertising, graphic design, or simply appreciates the whimsical and humorous side of life. These prints are not only visually appealing but also offer a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a true artistic genius.
