The London Transport Museum possesses the world's most comprehensive collection of 5,000 posters and almost 1,000 original poster artworks reflecting a century of British graphic design. The Museum has selected some 60 posters, together, with some original artwork, for presentation in their latest exhibition. The art of the poster shows the influence of Frank Pick and how London Underground, and its successors, became major patrons of poster art during the 100 years since 1908.

The art of the poster

The art of the poster features more than 60 original artworks recalling a century of graphic design including posters by many artists including Abram Games, Dora M. Batty, Eric Ravilious and R B Kitaj.

In 1908 advertisers recognised the opportunities for advertising that the transport system offered and space was sold on trams, buses, trains and stations.
