Last week I visited the Transport Museum in Covent Garden as I wanted to see a couple of poster exhibitions. This first exhibition is about two of my favourite London icons - the Underground and the River Thames.
The gatherers of all this important information deserve a prize. What an incredible journey the River Thames takes and how important to all life wherever it flows.
Hi! I'm here visiting from Our World and wow, you've dazzled us with so much...great posters. That one at the top is one I favor tho...the long winding river.
Anything that inspires to art is important to me:) Really enjoyed you taking us on your trip through the exhibit! Which leads me to the following thought. I just launched "Weekend Journal Page" on Dec. 8, and it is about the process of making anything in art. a possibility I mentioned in the post of Dec. 1 is "following another artist." Am leaving the post of December 8 open for people to leave their perma link in their comment to that post (a method very regularly used in wordpress for a meme/challenge). The Friday post of Dec. 8 you can recognize by a view with purplish wisteria in the header, and it's titled Weekend Journal Page, Dec. 8, 2017. It would be great if you could leave your perma link in a comment in that post. The comment section is below the post -keep scrolling down till you see a navy blue part. If you wonder how to do it, let me know, and I'll take you through it!

Thank you for sharing these. I couldn't choose a favorite, they are all so interesting! :-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this art. I appreciated the explanations , especially on the first two as I couldn't figure them out on my own.
ReplyDeleteI love poster art. Very interesting to see how it's evolved over time.
ReplyDeleteA very interesting assortment. I imagine some of these match up with the tube stations you have visited.
ReplyDeleteI really like old travel posters and I have a book of London travel posters but none of those are in it, so far as I can recall.
ReplyDeleteSome wonderful old posters there
ReplyDeleteReally nice. I love the different styles in the different eras.
ReplyDeleteNice exhibition!
ReplyDeleteNice post. There was a style of posters that were used to advertise railway trips to places like The Lakes and such like that I always liked.

Hello, wonderful exhibit. I enjoyed seeing the posters on the transportation and the diversity along the river. Enjoy your day and the new week!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. This is something I will enjoy thoroughly.

Very interesting and so much detail that you would only really understand with a fair bit of historical knowledge I think.
ReplyDeleteLovely posters!

ReplyDeleteThose are great. The River Lea one is so pretty and I like the mood of the Waterman one.
ReplyDeleteWater is lazy. Ha! Love the artistic posters.
