The Penrose Annual, ran from 1895 to 1982. It was a London based yearly review of the graphic arts.
While the Graphis Annual is more or less a book full of reproductions, This copy of Penrose from 1956 (it's 60th jubilee publication) is quite articles heavy; covering trends in graphic arts, articles about graphic/typographic history and various technical articles. The second half is exclusively content from advertisers - print, type & paper samples.
The graphics below are all from an article about the Post Office (GPO), or Royal Mail as it's known as today.
