About the Poster
This original vintage Andrew Whittuck Manhattan Breeze Poster was published in London by the influential art publisher The Poster Shop. The sophisticated, stylized still life visual captures the definitive premium aesthetic of 1980s studio photography. Set against a clean grid of tiled walls and reflective surfaces, the composition balances a single Manhattan cocktail glass garnished with a cherry, a floating paper cocktail umbrella, and a ceramic vase filled with pink cyclamen flowers. Designed by the prestigious London studio Cooper Thirkell, the poster features a masterful interplay of cool neon-purple shadows and warm amber lighting. The lower white margin showcases prominent serif typography with the artist's name and a dynamic script rendition of the title.
