London Transport Posters That Made the City Look Different
Brightest London | Horace Taylor, 1924
Escalators become a moving display of hats, coats and evening clothes. Horace Taylor fills the diagonals with brightly dressed passengers, turning a piece of transport infrastructure into a theatre of city life. The people are the attraction as much as the destinations they are travelling towards. In this 1924 poster, the Underground is not simply the efficient way to reach entertainment; it is already part of the evening, carrying the city's glamour down into the station.
