This stunning art deco carriage panel poster was designed by Heather ‘Herry’ Perry. Perry designed 13 posters and 41 carriage panels for London Transport between 1928-1937. The poster features a little red-haired boy in dungarees next to a red vintage automobile, with the transport route and location information lettering mimicking the vehicle shape, and London Transport logo representing the car wheel.
The first Motor Show was staged at Olympia in 1905 but in 1936 the venue lost out to the new Earls Court.
Despite passing away nearly six decades ago, Perry's art continues to be featured in art exhibitions and publications. Most recently, her posters have been included in shows curated specifically to showcase forgotten women designers and artists.
An identical example of this poster was recently sold at auction in March 2022 and achieved £1,375 (inc premium).
