EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a charming and humorous poster from 1944, promoting proper etiquette on the London Underground during World War II. Created by Fougasse, a renowned British cartoonist and illustrator, this lithograph features his signature style and wit. The poster depicts a crowded train carriage with various commuters, including a man holding a briefcase and an elegant lady with a bird perched on her shoulder. The text boldly reminds passengers to let others off the car first before boarding themselves - after all, one of them might be you! This clever message emphasizes the importance of manners and consideration in public transport during wartime. The artwork showcases Fougasse's talent for capturing everyday scenes with humor and charm while conveying an important social message. His distinctive logo for the London Underground is prominently displayed at the bottom of the poster. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand, this historical artifact provides us with insight into mid-20th century British culture as well as transportation etiquette during challenging times. It serves as both a reminder of our shared responsibility towards one another in public spaces and as an artistic testament to Fougasse's contribution to visual communication during World War II.
