Description: | This is the original artwork for a London Transport pair poster. The format, comprising one poster for the image and another for the text, allowed both the artist and the copyrighter more freedom.
Betty Swanwick's image of the Woolwich Ferry was used for the poster 'Enjoy your London No 4 – The River'. This formed part of a series of eight pair posters, published in 1948–49 to promote leisure travel.
This view illustrates the Thames as a working river before the decline of the Port of London in the 1960s. The pre-war paddle steamers of the Woolwich free ferry were replaced by diesel-engine craft in 1963; cranes and lighters also soon began to disappear. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | London Transport Museum collection | Subjects: | Environment Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1949 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Artist : Betty Swanwick | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
