London Transport Posters That Made the City Look Different
Hampton Court | Adrian Allinson, 1934
Adrian Allinson places Hampton Court across a brilliant stretch of blue water, with boats and people giving the foreground the easy activity of a day trip. Architecture, river and recreation are presented as parts of the same destination rather than competing attractions. Issued for London Transport in 1934, the poster also lists the services that could carry visitors there. Its appeal lies in that combination: a richly coloured prospect paired with the reassuring suggestion that reaching it is straightforward.
