1940s 1944 Bird British Crowded Cyril Etiquette Kenneth Logo London London Underground Poster Fougasse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in London's history during the year 1944. The image showcases a vintage poster created by Fougasse, promoting proper etiquette on the bustling London Underground. The poster features a delightful cartoon illustration by Kenneth Cyril Bird, known as Fougasse, who was renowned for his wit and creativity. In this particular artwork, we see a crowded underground car filled with people from all walks of life. A man stands near the entrance of the train, holding onto the handrail while politely gesturing to others to pass down further into the carriage. The text accompanying the image reads: "Please pass down the car - someday, you might want to get in yourself!". This powerful message reminds us of both courtesy and foresight. It encourages individuals to consider their fellow passengers' comfort and convenience while also suggesting that one day they may find themselves in need of space within these very same trains. The lithograph print beautifully captures every detail of this historical piece; from Fougasse's clever cartoon style to the iconic logo of London Underground itself. This evocative snapshot provides us with an intriguing glimpse into wartime England and serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos, proper etiquette can prevail.
