Funny rather foreboding poster for the Underground (1915)

  1. Nothing says fun day out like a poster that looks like the start of a Black Mirror episode.

  2. Easter 1915: the war continues to drag on. All the good slogan writers have quit their jobs and enlisted in the army.

  3. Excellent dark British humour. We’ve not changed and never will.

  4. This looks like the kind of image that appears on the wall in the background of a horror film that foreshadows all of the horrific things that eventually happen to the protagonist

  5. Most dated part of this poster: the prefix, hyphen and apostrophe in “motor-‘bus”.

    (More dated than the German invasion: those ways of spelling “bus” were quite dead by the time of WWII.)
