EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LONDON: UNDERGROUND, 1944. Please have your ticket ready at the barrier" takes us back in time to the bustling London Underground during World War II. The poster, created by Fougasse, a renowned British cartoonist and illustrator, serves as a reminder of proper etiquette for commuters. In this mid-1940s scene, we see a diverse crowd patiently queuing up to enter the underground station. A man and woman stand side by side, their faces reflecting determination amidst the chaos of war. The lithograph captures the essence of London's resilience during this tumultuous period. The focal point of the image is an animated bird character named Cyril who represents both humor and authority. Cyril stands near a ticket taker with his wings crossed, reminding passengers to have their tickets ready before reaching the barriers. This clever logo emphasizes the importance of efficiency and courtesy within public transport systems. The simplicity of Fougasse's illustration style adds charm to this historical piece while conveying its message effectively. By showcasing this photograph from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are transported back in time to experience London's vibrant atmosphere during one of its most challenging periods.
