The Palm House - Kew Gardens : poster by Clive Gardiner issued by London Underground, 1926

            Amongst the many posters for Kew Gardens issued by the then London Electric Railway's group of companies, that included the Underground, is this striking image by Clive Gardiner issued in 1926. Gardiner (1891 - 1960) worked in this very contemporary cubist style to produce this poster that was part of a series of commissions he undertook for the Underground Group that at the time was amongst the vanguard of commercial advertising, publicity and graphic design.

The poster also used the company's Johnston typeface and the UndergrounD block. The original poster was lithographed by Waddington's and this block appears in a contemporary trade journal.
