Description: | This poster was published by London Transport in the autumn of 1957. It advertises travel to country houses, most of which remained open only until October. A group of tourists in the foreground contemplates the ancestral portraits, which have been wittily interpreted by the artist.
John Bainbridge designed the poster in the form of an invitation, suggesting 20 stately homes that were in easy reach of London.
Bainbridge came to England from Australia in 1945. He was 37 when he completed this work, which was the sixth poster he designed for London Transport. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1957 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
