Main details
Reference number | 1983/4/1631 |
---|---|
Description | This poster forms part of a series published by the Underground group in 1924. There are five in the series, each promoting a different destination accessible by tram. The quality of the lithographs and the innovation of his designs established Edward McKnight Kauffer as a master of poster art. The last trams were withdrawn from London in 1952. This poster promotes the town of Uxbridge, where trams ran until 1936. Proposals to reintroduce a similar service to the area were under discussion at the beginning of the 21st century. |
