Description: | This poster, by Percy Gossop, was commissioned by the Underground Electric Railway Company in 1927. The colourful decorative map highlights Oxford Street, Regent Street, Bond Street and Piccadilly, the West End's main shopping streets. Posters like this, advertising travel to the winter sales, were targeted principally at women and aimed to encourage off-peak travel.
Between 1925 and 1928, Gossop produced a series of posters in this style, including one to encourage travel to the theatres. |
