Leaving The Smoke Behind: Enjoying an Awayday: Poster-House, New York, NY

The majority of the posters in this exhibition date from the Golden Age of London Passenger Transport Board posters, when many artists were commissioned to produce designs, primarily for London Underground and its various connecting networks of tram and bus lines. In this post-World War I era, the overarching concept behind the poster campaigns was to encourage off-peak travel across the wider network through eye-catching, attractive designs, thus driving up revenues for under-utilized lines.
