Reginald Mount (1906–1979〔) was a British graphic designer. Mount was born Edward Reginald Mount,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cut it out or cut it down )〕 on 4 July 1906. He worked as a designer for various advertising agencies in London in the 1930s, then joined the Ministry of Information at the outbreak of the Second World War. Throughout the war, Mount worked extensively with the designer Eileen Evans. Together, they produced many posters for the Ministry's public awareness and propaganda campaigns, including their renowned anti-venereal disease campaign of 1943–1944.〔 Other designer colleagues in the Ministry of Information's "general division" included Maurice V. Bennett and Kenneth Bird, better known as the cartoonist 'Fougasse'. Their work was overseen by the Ministry's studio manager, Edwin Embleton. Some time after 1941, he worked on a series of posters probably intended for export to the Soviet Union (they were accompanied by Russian text). The example pictured shows a hand, representing the merchant navy carrying a Hawker Hurricane to the USSR, to reinforce the Soviet air force.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Art of War - Propaganda - Production - Salvage )〕 Several of his wartime works depict an anthropomorphised, cartoon-style incendiary bomb, 'Fire-bomb Fritz'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Fritz in Nazi bomber" by Reginald Mount, 1942.

In the 1950s and 1960s, their 'Mount/Evans studio' became closely associated with the post-war Central Office of Information, producing designs for a wide variety of government agencies. Mount also designed the cinema poster for the British comedy film ''The Ladykillers''.〔 His work is in collections including those of The National Archives,〔 The Science Museum,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Poster relating to smoking, London, England, c. 1965-1970 )〕 and the Victoria and Albert Museum.〔 Mount died on 31 January 1979. == References == *Darracott, J. and Loftus, B., Second World War Posters, 1981 (1972), p. 47 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reginald Mount」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
