Artist/School: John Nunney (1897 -1966) estimated

Nunney produced posters used to promote the war effort during the Second World War and, around 1947, a number of posters describing various aspects of education around the British Colonial Empire. He was represented by both W. Partridge and Rogers & Co. Contributed to Swift Annual and Bible Story.

His first commercial work is recorded as early as 1923 around which time he was living at Lincoln's Inn, Holborn. In the mid-1930s he was living in New Maldon. About this time he produced work for Johnnie Walker whisky in 1927. Nunney also designed posters used to promote the war effort during World War II and, around 1947, a number of posters describing various aspects of education around the British Colonial Empire. One of his posters was used to illustrate the cover of Commercial Art, May 1924.
