Your Next Move Underground Houses To Suit All Classes Fred Taylor 1920s
Your Next Move — Underground Houses to Suit All Classes — Fred Taylor, c.1920s This charming and historically fascinating London Underground poster by Fred Taylor was produced in the 1920s to encourage Londoners to move to the new suburban housing estates being built along the rapidly expanding Underground network — a campaign that would shape the character of London's suburbs for generations. Fred Taylor (1875–1963) was one of the most prolific and accomplished artists working for the London Underground during its golden age of poster commissioning. Under the visionary leadership of Frank Pick, the Underground became one of the great patrons of British graphic art — commissioning leading artists to create posters that were not merely advertisements but genuine works of public art. Taylor's work for the Underground spanned decades and encompassed landscapes, architectural subjects and promotional material for the suburban expansion that was transforming London in the interwar years. The "Underground Houses" campaign was part of an extraordinary effort by London Underground to promote suburban living along its lines — encouraging city dwellers to move to new homes in Metroland and beyond, promising a better quality of life within easy reach of the city. The phrase "to suit all classes" speaks to the democratic ambition of the project, presenting suburban homeownership as an aspiration within reach of ordinary Londoners. It is a remarkable social document as much as a work of graphic art. Digitally restored by an artist (wear removed, colours refreshed, vintage character retained).
