About this artwork
Back in 1905, the introduction of electricity revolutionised the Underground, providing passengers with a newfound level of comfort. This poster shows passengers on a District Railway Underground car. With these new, powerful trains and their brightly lit interiors, commuters were now able to enjoy reading books or newspapers during their journey, regardless of the time of day or night. The artist's work appears to be greatly inspired by Fauvism, an art movement known for its bold use of colour. Lawrence leveraged these vibrant, expressionist colours to create a warm and inviting vibe. The vacant seat in the front further encourages potential commuters to take advantage of public transportation. This poster was originally created for the Underground Electric Railways Company of London in 1912. The print you see here is an accurate reproduction from the vintage poster collection housed in the London Transport Museum. Each purchase you make helps support the museum's ongoing work.
