Looking At Transport

The design of London Transport's trains and vehicles, buildings, equipment and furniture reveals a style which is characteristic of the whole undertaking, a style which this film shows dates from 1916 when Frank Pick commissioned a new type-face for use in all London Transport's public notices. Since then, and not least in its printing and posters. London Transport has sought to maintain a high standard of good looks throughout the wide field in which it operates.
