Description: | This poster, designed by Maurice Beck, was published by the Underground in 1930. It was aimed at staff, reminding them of the telecommunication technology in place. Drivers could stay in touch with each other and the control room by connecting a telephone at any point along a pair of wires that ran through the Underground tunnels.
During the 1920s, Beck was head photographer for British Vogue and created a large number of photographic magazine covers. In the 1930s he designed a series of Underground posters using the same photomontage technique. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1930 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Printer : Waterlow & Sons Ltd | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
