Description: | This poster was designed for the Underground in 1914 by Tony Sarg. It advertises flying at Hendon. At the time, air displays and races were held there on most weekends. They were a popular way of bringing new technology to the attention of a wider public. In 1912, Hendon held its first aerial Derby. This race around London attracted an estimated 500,000 spectators. Sarg's poster depicts the commotion of a race day at Hendon. His witty caricatures capture the diversity of the audience for such events. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1914 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Artist : Tony Sarg | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
