The posters designed by C.K.L.Samarasingha and G. S Fernando for the Government Tourist Bureau are gems; Reggie Candappa's work is also superb.
Anura Saparamadu has been collecting classic posters of Ceylon for a long time. Through the years his poster collection grew to more than 250 examples that showcased the talents of Ceylon's artists. In 2011, Anura published 'Vintage Posters of Ceylon' a cofee table book that featured his entire collection.
This exhibition highlights some of the finest examples of Vintage Ceylon posters from the late 1890s up to 1972.
Reproductions are available for sale at 3000/- and postcards at 350/-
