This scene accompanies a section in the John Hassall Correspondence Art School brochure, showcasing the allure of their prestigious Poster Course. John Hassall (1868-1948), a leading illustrator of the early 20th century, is renowned for his iconic poster designs. Known as the 'Poster King,' Hassall's creations graced the streets and transport networks of Britain, captivating the public with their bold colors, striking compositions, and evocative imagery. One of Hassall's most famous works is the Skegness is SO Bracing poster, featuring the iconic Jolly Fisherman.

Through this illustration, we are transported back in time to an era when posters reigned supreme as the primary means of mass communication. The man on the ladder, with his poster in hand, embodies the spirit of creativity, determination, and artistic ambition that defined the John Hassall Correspondence Art School and its legendary poster course.
