Brightest London is best reached by Underground" is the slogan Horace Taylor set across this 1924 color lithograph, printed in London by the Dangerfield Printing Co. Its tall, narrow format suited the platforms and corridors where the Underground displayed its advertising. The promise of a bright, lively city reflects the company's campaign to present the railway as the easiest way to reach theaters, shops and evening entertainments. Commissioned under Frank Pick's publicity leadership, posters like this helped define British commercial art between the wars.
