Description: | This artwork was painted in pen and ink by John Dixon in 1928. It was commissioned by the Underground Group for use in a poster advertising the new residential developments in the northern suburbs of London. The style is a pastiche of medieval rural landscape paintings. It was intended to emphasise the rural character of Edgware at the time. The new suburbs were advertised as clean and spacious, in contrast to the crowded, polluted city. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | London Transport Museum collection | Subjects: | Environment Art and Design Home and Family | Temporal: | 1928 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
