190819461London: London Transport 1908-1915. 1030 by 1550mm 40.5 by 61 inches. Next stop Westminster Enamel tube sign with wooden frame. Rare pre-First World War station sign for Westminster tube station. This large enamel sign can be dated to between 1908 to 1915 when the bull's-eye design a solid red disk with a horizontal bar containing the text was adopted by all the various separate underground railway companies. It would be the first time that a coherent graphic design was adopted for the whole of the disparately owned and run network. The bull's-eye design would be superseded when in 1915 the then Underground's publicity manager Frank Pick commissioned the calligrapher Edward Johnston to design a company typeface. His subsequent design: the red circle and blue bar. It is still in use to this day and has rightly become synonymous with London and its famous transport system. London Transport, unknown
