Art & Hue is ringing in 150 years of the telephone with a celebration of pop art dedicated to one of the most iconic objects of the 20th century.

From Alexander Graham Bell’s patent on the 7th of March 1876, to the historic first telephone call with Bell’s “Mr Watson, come here” moment on the 10th of March 1876, and the first long-distance call on the 10th of August 1876, the humble telephone has been connecting people – and looking fabulous while doing it – for a century and a half.

Art & Hue still has a hankering for midcentury receivers with those irresistible curly cords, and they feature in several retro pop art prints. Glamour, intrigue and classic British style are received loud and clear with Diana Dors, Joan Collins, Patricia Roc, Leonard Rossiter, Kenneth Cranham, George Innes, and The Avengers’ John Steed & Tara King, all captured mid-call with fabulously nostalgic telephones.

To mark 150 years of the telephone, Art & Hue has created a new stylish pop art print featuring a proffered receiver, the ideal conversation piece for a hallway near the mid-century telephone table, or in a work or home office.

Let your walls do the talking and browse the full phone print collection below to find pop art that speaks to your space.

All available in three sizes and a wide range of colour options, dial up timeless style and join Art & Hue in celebrating 150 years of calls, cords and classic design.
