LEONARD RICHMOND EXCURSIONS / OUTINGS. 1933.
40x25 inches. Vincent Brooks, Day & Sons, London.
Condition B+: wrinkles and creases in image; water stain in lower left corner.
A delightful image of children frolicking in verdant fields very similar in feel to the Warbis Brothers' 1915 poster Invade it Yourself. Richmond did a lot of work for the British Railway companies in the 1920s and 30s. This poster for the Underground is one of the very few that bear the logo "London's Underground".
