Original Vintage Travel Poster London Transport Christopher Wren Architecture

About the Item

Original vintage London Transport poster commemorating Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723) featuring various images of the notable English architect, astronomer, mathematician and physicist with his signature, the text and London Underground roundel logo below - Sir Christopher Wren was a Londoner, and London is fortunate that it was here that he achieved the bulk of his life's work. Wren was content that St. Paul's should be his memorial - Si monumentum requiris, circumspice - but the capital is rich in buildings that display his protean genius - sombrely dignified St. Lawrence Jewry; intimate St. Vedast, Foster Lane; the Royal Hospital, Chelsea; the tremendous Royal Naval College, Greenwich ... One of London Transport's free publications, Christopher Wren (newly revised), will help you plan your exploration, tell you much about this great man and his work, and suggest how to get there by bus and Underground. Ask at any London Transport Enquiry Office or write to the Public Relations Officer, 55 Broadway, SW1H 0BD. Artwork by the British artist and poster designer Graham Clarke (b.1941). Printed by Johnson Riddle and Co Ltd. Good condition, creasing, tears.
