John Finnie (born 1935)
Waterways (1965)
Original vintage poster
102 x 63 cm
Overprinted ‘This is a reproduction of a poster designed for London Transport’. This was overprinted for a period on copies of London Transport posters (produced on the normal production line) that were sold in what is now the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden.
Finnie’s poster promotes travel on London’s waterways, and indicates that said waterways are in easy reach of London Underground stations (here, Warwick Road).
