About the Item
Vintage official reproduction of a poster designed for London Transport - The Imperial War Museum Underground to London North or Elephant & Castle - featuring colourful illustrations of historic items on display inside the shape of the museum including a bi-plane and tanks, guns and other weapons, a military helmet and uniform on a stand, an RSM navy anchor shield badge, a World War One Totenkopf skull and crossbones on a pennant flag, a Zeppelin / blimp airship and a warship in camouflage colours, a Nazi Swastika* on a black Iron Cross and a Parteiadler Nazi Germany eagle emblem (National Socialist German Workers' Party / Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) with the date 1939 (the start of World War Two), the text with the London Underground roundel below - The Imperial War Museum displays in profusion devices for the slaughter of one's fellow men. But less obviously it is also a remarkable gallery of modern art - Epstein, Augustus John, Paul Nash, Nevinson, Bone, Rothenstein, Sargent, Spencer, Piper, Willliam Roberts, Laura Knight, Sutherland and many others, are all finely represented. A case, if ever there was one, of good from evil. The Imperial War Museum (IWM) was founded in 1917; the IWM London headquarters / Southwark branch opened on Lambeth Road in 1936; the museum's other branches are IWM Duxford, IWM North, HMS Belfast and the Churchill War Rooms. Good condition, creasing, tears, minor staining.
*Note: the 1935-1945 flag of Germany featuring the swastika has been covered in the image but appears as originally printed on the poster itself.)
