For over 100 years, since Frank Pick commissioned the first graphic poster for the London Underground, the London Transport Company has kept copies of everything it has produced and now boasts one of the finest poster archives in the world. Designed by the leading graphic designers, illustrators and artists of the 20th century, the posters are not only wonderful mementoes of London's past, they showcase British design at its best.
Originally commissioned in 1924 by Underground Electric Railway Company Limited, Horace Taylor's Brightest London and Home by Underground has long since been recognised for its use of colour. The artist began his career working for the Manchester Guardian as a stage designer and cartoonist. From 1922 onwards he dedicated his career to designing commercial art and posters for numerous important clients including the London Underground and Empire Marketing Board. Aptly illustrating the diversity and colour of London fashion, the vibrancy of the poster emblazoned the walls of the Underground at a time when film was still shot in black and white. This design shows a party of sophisticated diners being entertained by dancers at a City function. Taylor produced another poster that year titled Brightest London is Best Reached by Underground.
