Reference number	1983/4/3621
Description	This poster was commissioned by London Passenger Transport Board (L.P.T.B.) in 1933. The illustration is by Jean Dupas. It depicts a group of people enjoying the regatta in July. In the bottom right corner is the unpopular new L.P.T.B. symbol designed by C W Bacon. Within months, the Underground's roundel was reinstated as a graphic symbol for the entire company. The name London Passenger Transport Board was also unpopular, and the newly amalgamated system became known as London Transport.
