EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "How to Get There, 1929" takes us back in time to the golden age of football and public transport. Created by an English School artist in the early 20th century, this artwork showcases a London Underground poster that seamlessly combines art deco aesthetics with the excitement of football. In this print, we see a group of skillful footballers from Queens Park Rangers (QPR) eagerly playing with a classic leather ball. Dressed in their traditional kits, they exude both athleticism and camaraderie. The players are depicted against the backdrop of a bustling tube station, emphasizing the accessibility and popularity of both public transport and soccer during this era. The art deco style is evident throughout the composition, with its geometric shapes and streamlined forms. This artistic movement flourished between 1910-1939 and aimed to capture modernity through sleek design elements. In "How to Get There" these elements perfectly complement the dynamism of sportsmen engaged in their beloved game. As we admire this vintage litho print from Bridgeman Images at the National Football Museum in Manchester, UK, it serves as a testament to how deeply ingrained football has been within British culture for decades. It also reminds us of how public transportation played an essential role in connecting fans to stadiums across cities. This artwork not only celebrates sport but also encapsulates an important period in history when art movements like art deco were flourishing alongside sporting achievements on fields across England.
