London Transport Posters That Made the City Look Different
Trooping the Colour | Aldo Cosomati, 1923
Aldo Cosomati reduces a ceremonial parade to a neatly spaced company of red uniforms and dark bearskins. The figures are almost modular, but the drums and contrasting poses interrupt the repetition just enough to keep it lively. Practical destinations sit beneath the picture rather than fighting with it. Published in 1923, this poster demonstrates the clarity of a small visual vocabulary: a few flat colours and repeated shapes can announce an elaborate public spectacle with remarkable economy.
