Description: | While some London Transport (L.T.) posters are commissioned works of art, others are more functional. This poster, in the style of a tabloid newspaper front page, was used to inform Underground users of modernisation work in progress.
It was designed by Frank Dickens in 1985. At the time, London Underground was refurbishing many of its oldest stations. Projects included commissioning artists to design murals to improve the appearance of platforms.
Frank Dickens is a self-taught artist best known for his cartoon strip character Bristow. The character appeared in the Evening Standard from 1962 and on L.T. posters. A Bristow cartoon is in the bottom right corner of this poster. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1985 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
