Description
A large-format colour poster of a tea clipper driving through choppy seas, its towering rig packed with bright white sails and deep blue shadowing, framed by a cloud-shaped colour border. The bottom caption reads “A TEA CLIPPER OF THE EIGHTIES”, a period reference to the 1880s heyday of fast tea-carrying sail.
Such ship subjects were widely used in Britain for tea-trade romanticism and as classroom or office decoration, often issued without a specific tea brand as a general “tea clipper” emblem.
Signed/credited “Lendon, London” at lower right, indicating the publisher/production source rather than a named artist; printed as a bold colour lithographic/offset-style wall poster intended for long-distance visibility.
