Wimbledon 2019
Some stories live forever

 

Each poster features tennis greats – Althea Gibson, Arthur Ashe and Martina Navratilova – who are cleverly merged with historical news stories, each blending era-defining moments of human endeavour. The posters are an innovative hybrid of craft, merging photography to create unique visuals. The pieces are complemented by typography and are hand letter-pressed to be true to each historical period featured.

Their story began in 1877 and they’ve been making newspaper headlines ever since; sharing coverage with the launch of Sputnik, the tumbling of the Berlin Wall and other great moments of human endeavour. And as new championships throw up new heroes and new stories, they’ll continue to do so. These beautifully designed, era-specific posters bring these insights to life, by staying true to craft of the periods they portray. Because at Wimbledon and in life, Some Stories Live Forever. The three iconic posters were exclusively on display at Wimbledon station on the last day of Wimbledon, to celebrate The Championship finals.
