Original Vintage Travel Poster Windmills John Finnie London Transport UK Country

About the Item

Original vintage London Transport poster featuring a great black and white drawing by John Finnie (b.1935) depicting people walking next to a windmill with trees in the foreground, the text and London Underground roundel in red below - Windmills link us with less hurried days. Some of these rickety sentinels still remain in London's countryside, proud reminders of the miller's constant battle with his fickle servant, the wind. A free London Transport leaflet lists the more worthy veterans; write for a copy to the Public Relations Officer, 55 Broadway, S.W.1. Then buy a Weekender ticket (#1 at any Underground station or bus garage), consult your bus map and pay your respects. Printed by Leonard Ripley and Co. Ltd London. Good condition, creasing, staining, tears.
