£850.00

Set of 3 London Underground Station Redevelopment Posters 1965-1967.

Literally 'lifting the lid' on the awesome engineering and architectural feat that is a London Underground station, these beautifully drawn posters by E Barker gave Londoners a new perspective of their city. I can find very little on 'E Barker', only that 'they' designed posters for London Transport 1965-1974 (mainly 3 dimensional station drawings).

Both Oxford Circus and Euston station developments were to accommodate the new Victoria Line. At both stations, new ticket halls, escalators, and lifts were constructed along with one-way passenger walkways. This was particularly challenging at Oxford Circus which was constructed beneath the Regent St/Oxford St junction, where traffic was diverted over a temporary bridge for nearly 6 years.

Euston Station was badly damaged in the Blitz of WWII and a lot of its redevelopment, which included an upgrade to the Underground station, didn’t happen until the 1960s.

These futuristic visions of progress must have given a sense of hope to Londoners at a time of great financial crisis facing the United Kingdom at the time.
