Description: | This oil painting by William Roberts was commissioned by London Transport in 1951. The striking image forms half of a poster to promote London's fairs. The other half had a similar band of illustration at the top and bottom, but the central space was left entirely for text.
Pair posters like this were intended for prime sites such as Underground station entrances. The format offered both the artist and the copywriter more freedom. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | London Transport Museum collection | Subjects: | Environment Leisure Art and Design | Temporal: | 1951 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Artist : William Roberts | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
