About this artwork

In 1933, London Transport commissioned two posters to hype up the yearly Wimbledon tennis tournament. One of these was created by Sybil Andrews, who at the time was studying at the New Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London. She had a shared studio space with Cyril Power, who later played a pivotal role in securing poster commissions for her from London Transport. She thanked him by signing the piece 'Andrew Power'. Meanwhile, E A Marty designed the other Wimbledon poster that year in a more traditional style. The contrasting posters were part of London Transport's strategy to appeal to a wider audience. This print is an authentic replica of the original, sourced from the historic poster archives of the London Transport Museum. Every sale aids the museum's work.

About the artist

In the 1930s, Sybil Andrews and Cyril Power, under the collective alias "Andrew Power," were hired by Frank Pick to design promotional posters for public transit-based outings. Power obtained the assignment while Andrews created the designs. Their artworks, celebrating various sporting occasions like ice skating, soccer, Wimbledon, and horse racing, aimed to endorse public transport usage and stimulate attendance at these events.
