Mr Monkey sees The Art of the Poster at the London Transport Museum, 1st November


"That's how it all started, you know"

Mr Monkey looking at the artwork for No Need To Ask A P'liceman Mr Monkey looking at the artwork for Brightest London is Best reached by Underground

Mr Monkey started by studying London Underground's first poster, No Need To Ask A P'liceman (John Hassal, 1908), which really advertised the Underground map. Then he looked at a later poster, Brightest London is Best Reached by Underground (Horace Taylor, 1924), created when they had decided to use flatter images with solid blocks of colour.
