Description: | This is the original artwork for an Underground poster advertising Hyde Park. It was painted by the prolific British artist and illustrator Edward Bawden in 1925. Hyde Park offered the widest range of attractions available in a central London park. People could go swimming, boating or play golf, there was music in the afternoons and lively debates were held at Speakers' Corner.
Bawden's image depicts Rotten Row, the only space devoted to horse riding in central London. The text added to the final poster read: 'Hyde Park: The Stage of London Life ... Free Orators. Free Flowers. Free Bands. Free Air. Free Society.' | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | London Transport Museum collection | Subjects: | Leisure Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1925 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Artist : Edward Bawden | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
