Original Description
Edward McKnight Kauffer’s poster Wherever You Go You Can Be Sure Of Shell – Bodiam Castle (1931) is a striking example of modernist commercial art blending travel, industry, and medieval romance. Depicting England’s picturesque Bodiam Castle reflected in serene waters, Kauffer employs sharp geometric forms and bold contrasts—hallmarks of the Art Deco and Viennese Secession influences he championed. The Shell logo, integrated seamlessly into the landscape, speaks to Kauffer’s genius in elevating advertising to high art. Created during his prolific tenure for Shell-Mex, this work exemplifies the era’s optimism about mobility and modernity. Historically, it cemented Kauffer’s reputation as a pioneer of graphic design, bridging avant-garde aesthetics with mass communication. The poster’s timeless elegance and dynamic composition make it a celebrated artifact of early 20th-century visual culture.
For interiors, this piece shines in spaces craving sophistication with a historical touch. Ideal above a mid-century modern console or in a contemporarily styled study, its muted greens and warm ochres pair effortlessly with walnut wood or brass accents. Choose a moderately large format (around 24x36 inches) to let the castle’s reflection command attention without overwhelming smaller rooms. Frame it in a slim black or metallic profile to echo its Deco roots. In offices, it fosters a sense of exploration—perfect for creative industries. Pair with minimalist furniture to let Kauffer’s graphic precision take center stage, or contrast it with organic textures like wool rugs for balanced warmth. The artwork’s versatility ensures it elevates both corporate and residential settings with quiet grandeur.
