Henry Rivers’ remarkable travel posters are at once modern and retro.  With an elegant, cool stroke and fine, warm colouring in pastel tones, he re-interprets the classical travel poster. With great sensitivity for the essential details, plus brave minimalism, he designed the calendar pictures of Berlin, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Japan, Paris, Chicago, Barcelona, the Côte d´Azur, Cairo, New York, London and the Antarctic.

The young Briton lives near Bordeaux, in the countryside. When he isn’t travelling, he transforms his travel experiences into digital works of art. He’s also in demand as a designer of book covers. Before becoming an illustrator, Henry studied architecture in Cambridge, where he learned technical drawing and studied intensively the history of architecture and its stylistic directions.

He skilfully imports this knowledge into his art.

In 2015 Rivers started his collection of contemporary travel posters. You can follow the expansion of his collection at www.travelposter.com

This DUMONT calendar was designed, printed and processed; it’s “made in Germany”. This also applies to the paper used, which fulfils all the standards of certified, environment-friendly production.
