POSTER: FREDERICK C. HERRICK (1887-1970) LONDON'S UNDERGROUND / NIGHTLY CARNIVAL. 1924. 39x49 inches. The Baynard Press, London.
FREDERICK C. HERRICK (1887-1970) LONDON'S UNDERGROUND / NIGHTLY CARNIVAL. 1924.
39 1/4x49 1/4 inches. The Baynard Press, London.
Condition B+ / A-: vertical and horizontal folds in image; repaired tears along edges. Framed.
Almost all of Herrick's posters are marked by an elegant Art Deco stylization, and indeed he was the only British artist to participate in the famed 1925 Parisian Exposition Internationales des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes. Not only a poster designer, he was also in charge of the Baynard Press in London. Here, in a cosmic fresco-style image, he depicts cherubs flitting about constellations which represent Underground stops, with an elegantly arrayed list of London's theatres (and their corresponding locations on the "map") on either side. Metzl p. 135.
