Description: | This advert, Spring is Here - Londoner's Maybush is blooming, features a line drawing of a Maybush. Below is a passage taken from 'The Herball' by John Gerarde, dated 1636, followed by the suggestion of a day trip by 'General' bus on May Day.
The advert adopts the style of 17th-century botanic illustration and typography: the letter 'U' in Underground is written as 'V'.
The advert, part of a series called 'Spring is Here' designed by Dora M Batty, was published by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London in the Evening News on 23 May 1928. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
