Signed David Gentleman, 25×40”, 1961
Original Vintage London Transport poster. A reputed patron of the arts, London Transport posters continually pushed the stylistic limits of the modern poster, and established the Johnston Typeface as one of the longest running examples of corporate branding that has come to represent both London Transport and London itself. This one showcases famous faces in London history whose births or deaths coincided within a century or two of 1961, which was "current year" at the time this was printed.
