Description: | This artwork, commissioned by the Underground in 1920, was used for a poster to promote Covent Garden Market. It formed part of a series called 'London Characters', which depicted people carrying out their everyday work in the City. The images were all oil paintings by the artist Elijah Albert Cox. This one shows a market porter packing up at the end of the day. At this time Covent Garden was home to a vast fruit and vegetable market. The glass-roofed building in the background is the Floral Hall flower market, which is now home to London's Transport Museum. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | London Transport Museum collection | Subjects: | Work Art and Design | Temporal: | 1920 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Artist : Elijah Albert Cox | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
