You Can Be Sure Of Shell / Haldon Belvedere. 1936.
If it wasn't already clear by the very Cézanne-like landscape depicted here, Carel Weight was primarily a painter; his most acclaimed portrait was of another painter, Camille Pissarro. Here, he gives us the rare poster design—and a lovely one at that—to advertise trips to Britain's landmarks care of Shell. In the far distance, the abstract shape above the hill represents Haldon Belvedere, an 18th century castle-like estate. Its position 244 meters above sea level with 99 steps leading to its roof continues to impress visitors with sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
