The Underground has its origins in the Metropolitan Railway, opening on 10 January 1863 as the world's first underground passenger railway. The Metropolitan is now part of the Circle, District, Hammersmith \u0026amp; City and Metropolitan lines. The first line to operate underground electric traction trains, the City \u0026amp; South London Railway in 1890, is now part of the Northern line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael Carlo (born 1945) is a British artist known for his printmaking, particularly screen-prints and later woodcuts. He studied at Colchester School of Art and then the Royal College of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206249193859,"sku":"LH97K","price":350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.7053610657_dq1n.jpg?v=1768968350","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1971-kew-gardens-poster-london-66516","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
