Nevinson studied art at the Academie Julian in Paris where he shared a studio with Modigliani. He was also involved in the Italian Futurist movement through his friendship and collaboration with Marinetti. This image is one of a series of four he designed for the London Transport in 1921 touting leisure activities that could be reached by motor-bus. The series shares the common design element of the red border.
