• The Fastnet Mizen Head picture was loved by my brother, a great gift to remind him of our father who could see its light from his childhood home. Its a great image of the lighthouse and nicely framed and carefully packaged.

About Our Travel Posters

After graduating from Law School in TCD, Patrick spent 10 years working in advertising agencies in London and Dublin. It was there that he developed his interest in the old railway travel posters of the 1930s and 1940s with their bold use of typography and romantic style of artwork. Establishing The Canvas Works in Kinsale in 2007, Patrick decided to create a range of retro style travel posters that would pay homage to this bygone age. Initially working online, he opened his gallery in 2012 from where he creates and prints his entire collection of vintage style travel prints.

Brief History of Irish Travel Posters

Irish travel posters became prominent in the 1920s, with Great Southern Railways (GSR) commissioning artwork to promote Ireland’s landscapes and tourist destinations. In the 1930s and 1940s, Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) continued the tradition, producing stylized posters showcasing destinations like Killarney and the Cliffs of Moher, often influenced by Art Deco design. By the 1950s and 1960s, Bord Fáilte took over, gradually shifting toward photography-based advertisements.

Through it all, their training in the art of invisibility serves them well, allowing them to protect their city while remaining in the shadows.
