Walter Till

Vintage Irish Travel Posters & the Golden Age of Tourism

Museum-quality reproductions celebrating the work of Walter Till (1880–1930), one of Ireland’s most influential early travel poster artists. Commissioned by the Great Southern Railways, Till helped define the visual identity of Irish tourism—combining bold graphic design with romantic landscape imagery that shaped how Ireland was presented to the world.

Cultural Narrative

Working at the height of early 20th-century travel, Walter Till created iconic poster designs that promoted Ireland as a destination of scenery, heritage, and quiet grandeur. His compositions are marked by strong typography, simplified forms, and luminous colour—balancing modern design principles with a deep sense of place.

From sweeping lakes and mountains to idealised rural vistas, Till’s posters capture an aspirational vision of Ireland—an invitation to journey, to explore, and to belong. Today, these works stand as important artifacts of Irish visual culture and early graphic design history.
