Description: | Arnrid Banniza Johnston was a prolific artist who carved in marble and wood as well as being a painter. Johnston was born in Sweden but studied at the Slade School of Art in London. She produced several original artworks that were used on London Transport posters.
This poster from 1931 publicised work on the Charing Cross Euston & Hampstead Railway, which later became the Northern line. An extension to Camden had been built in 1924 but further improvements were funded in 1929, including the installation of escalators. Funding had come from the government as part of the unemployment relief scheme initiated during the economic depression of the late 1920s and 30s.
Camden Town is one of the closest Underground stations to Regent's Park zoo. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1931 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Artist : Arnrid Banniza Johnston | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
