What a great card from a worker on this underground train system.
The London Underground was the first Underground Rail system in the World 1863. The 20's 30's and 40's saw many iconic posters produced promoting the London Underground Transport System...This is one such iconic poster of the period.. Called "Lure of the Underground" by Alfred Leete1927..Alfred Leete was a well known comic illustrator and not only included posters but cartoons and postcards as well as book illustrations. His most famous poster was "Your Country Needs You in 1914 and that appeared on the cover of the "London Opinion" and was used as a recruitment poster ..
Thanks so much for this great card Anne..Posted Windsor 25 November 2010
