Anthony Raine Barker (1880-1960) produced all of the seven posters used in Shell’s ‘See Ireland First’ campaign. The campaign featured scenes of the Irish landscapes that were untouched by the motorist.

As a painter, poster designer, lithographer and engraver, Barker’s works focused upon the landscapes and architecture of Britain.

Barker also illustrated two children’s books with his own woodcuts, The Fairytale Express (1925) and Hidden Gold (1926).
