Description: | As male transport workers were recruited to fight in the First World War, their jobs were often taken up by women.
This poster is from a set of commemorative lithographs by Archibald Standish Hartrick. They were published by the Underground in 1918 to celebrate the contribution staff made to the war effort on the Home Front as well as in the armed forces.
The women fitters depicted in the central image are carrying out very similar manual duties to the men represented in the borders. This effectively links those at home with their colleagues fighting the war. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport London at War Art and Design | Temporal: | 1918 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Publisher : Underground Electric Railway Company Ltd | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
