Description: | The pair poster, comprising one half for an image and another for text, allowed freedom to both the artist and the copyrighter. This is one half of a pair poster published by London Transport in 1951. It was designed by John Minton to promote pleasure trips to the Thames.
The accompanying image depicts the Thames as a working river, before the decline of the Port of London in the 1960s. Tower Bridge is the only feature that remains the same. The cranes and lighters have disappeared, and although many warehouse buildings have survived, they are now bars, restaurants and luxury apartments. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Environment Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1951 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
