Description

Produced for Scotland’s Gardens Scheme, this bold interwar poster invites visitors to explore gardens and historic homes while supporting district nursing in Scotland. A stylised formal garden opens towards distant Highland peaks, rendered in a striking palette of yellow, green and deep blue.

Oversized block lettering and the simplified landscape give the design strong graphic impact, while the lower text directs enquiries to the scheme’s General Organiser at 10 India Street, Glasgow. Printed by McLagan & Cumming of Edinburgh, it combines Scottish tourism, horticultural interest and charitable campaigning in an unusually decorative composition.
