"A perfect example of 'soft sell' advertising from the heyday of the Underground poster, this evocative image of the city draws the eye to the Underground symbol, which beckons like a familiar beacon in the gloom" (Underground p. 42). Danvers also designed posters for the Southern Railway and the London & North Eastern Railway.
