Art for All: British Posters for Transport July 19, 2011

In 1908 the London Underground began an aggressive campaign that became one of the most successful, adventurous, and best sustained branding operations ever attempted. This poster campaign not only encouraged ridership on the public transport system, it helped to foster a civic identity for the city of London. The more than 5,000 works produced include some of the greatest achievements of poster art. 'Art for All' features outstanding posters executed for both the Underground and the British railways.
