Johnson, Riddle and Company (sold)
Johnson, Riddle and Company (fl. c. 1910 - 1974) was early to mid-20th century graphic artists and printers active in South London. They are best known for their exceptionally composed and highly graphic World War I (1914 -1918) propaganda and recruitment posters. Specifically, they received a lucrative contract from the Parliamentary Recruitment Committee to produce posters between 1914 and 1916. Later they issued many posters promoting the London Underground. Their most significant cartographic work is the serio-comic map Hark! Hark! The Dogs Do Bark!, a satirical look at World War I. They remained active until 1974.

An iconic 1914 serio-comic satirical map by Johnson, Riddle, and Company issued shortly after the outbreak of World War I (1914 - 1918). The map covers Europe from the Atlantic to the Black Sea and from Scandinavia to Italy. Superimposed on the map are a host of dogs, as well as other animals, and several human figures. Text by the popular Jewish satirist Walter Lewis Emanual appears at the bottom. The lighthearted content captures English optimism early in the war. It was widely assumed that British naval superiority would end the war quickly, some argued in as little as six weeks. (more details)
