ANNA K. ZINKEISEN [CAROUSEL] 1935.
39x49 1/2 inches. London Passenger Transport Board.
Condition B+: restoration in image. Two-sheets.
A bright, whimsical, fantasy-fueled, magical scene in green, yellow, blue, red and brown of diaphonously-clad maidens riding on a fish, chicken, zebra, lion and unicorn of a make-believe carousel. Escapist, almost surreal advertising, in that the message is that the London Underground can whisk you away to magical places! Originally two panels, here mounted together, as they clearly were intended to work both individually or in tandem.
