London Transport Museum - For The Zoo Print & Mount, 30 x 40cm

A Regent's Park Zoo and London Transport vintage poster designed by Charles Paine.

Charles Paine was a versatile and prolific designer. His training started with an apprenticeship in stained glass. He also attended evening classes at Manchester School of Art, before moving to London to further his study. His time at the Royal College of Art however was interrupted by military service. During the 1920s he designed posters for the Underground Group and in the 1930s he lived and worked in Welwyn Garden City, before moving to Jersey.

For over 100 years, since Frank Pick commissioned the first graphic poster for the London Underground, the London Transport Company has kept copies of everything it has produced and now boasts one of the finest poster archives in the world.

Designed by the leading graphic designers, illustrators and artists of the 20th century, the posters are not only wonderful mementos of London’s past, they showcase British design at its best.
