1921 Charles Paine
Ah, the Art Deco era of poster art from the London Transport Museum. So colorful.

So vibrant.
|
1922 Charles Paine |
So whimsical. There were more artists producing than Charles Paine,
but his art is so appealing.

1924 Ver ney Danvers
|
An ad for the Underground in the chill gloom of winter -- or was London suffering from heavy smog? Rather noir-ish, isn't it?
|
1924 James Henry Down |
Fresh air is just an Underground ride away. I assume large prams were allowed, but how did one get it down and up the stairs? Were there elevators?

1930 Walter Spradbery |

1931 Frank Masden Lea |

1934 Maurice Miles
This is to me a most beautiful rendition of elephants. And there were many other lovely posters that year, but none could top this.

1936 Chalres Pears
|
Pears did a series of waterfront posters for 1936.
|
1937 F. Gregory Brown
|
And then F. Gregory Brown matched him the following year with another nautical series. So much visual depth in this rendition.
|
1938 Mark Fernand Severin
The clock is the symbol of the Underground. A movie is a short ride away.

Autumn was coming. But walks through colorful park foliage would have to be postponed. Watch for Part 3 of the Transport Museum Posters - The War Years.
I LOVE the ones from the 20's! Those umbrellas! The aerodrome! The penguins and horses, the boat race...So fresh and clean and great colors.
