Travel Poster London Transport Underground Flowers William Fenton - Original vintage London Transport poster titled Flowers, featuring a unique mid-century informational design framed by dense, decorative top and bottom margins filled with illustrated yellow, white, and purple garden blossoms, the text reads - Flowers in the parks are sometimes a race apart - they seem so much better than our own and their nurturing and naming more magic than culture. From Spring to late Autumn the living flower shows of London's civic gardeners are free to all - they deserve our notice and enjoyment... We suggest therefore that Kew is not merely for country cousins, that Regent's Park is for gardeners as well as scullers and zoologists, and that Londoners would do well to rediscover the Flower Walk in Kensington Gardens and find new floral pleasures in such little known oases as Hendon's Golders Hill and Streatham's Rookery. - with some suggestions to horticulturists below, including Chiswick House Grounds, Dulwich Park, Golders Hill Park, Gunnersbury Park, Hampton Court Gardens, Kew Gardens, Queen Mary's Garden at the Regent's Park, The Rookery, Southwark Park, Terrace Gardens in Richmond, and Waterlow Park. Printed by The Baynard Press, Fair condition, folds, tears, creasing, pinholes, paper losses, staining, tape on reverse.
