1975 Kenwood House Poster, London Underground, Hampstead Heath London, by Robert Flavell Micklewright, The Tube, travel wall art decor

This original Tube (London Underground) poster "Kew Gardens" shows a serene and picturesque landscape dominated by the grand, classical white Kenwood House, nestled on a green hillside under a clear blue sky. A large, lush green tree occupies the right side of the foreground and mid-ground, framing the house on the outskirts of Hampstead Heath.

Text reads: Kenwood House stands high on the northernmost ridge of Hampstead Heath. Owned and administered by the Greater London Council, this is London's very own country mansion. Its treasures are endless - a Rembrandt self-portrait, Vermeer's precious Guitar Player, Guardis, Constables, Romneys, Gainsboroughs, a wealth of antique furniture, and that masterpiece of Robert Adam's decorative genius, the Library. All of this in a matchless setting of lake, lawns and woods, on the very edge of Central London. Kenwood is open free, daily 10.00 - 19.00. Underground to Golders Green or Archway then bus 210.

The London Underground (also known simply as the Underground or by its nickname the Tube) is a rapid transit system serving Greater London and some parts of the adjacent home counties of Buckinghamshire, Essex and Hertfordshire in England. 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 & City and Metropolitan lines. The first line to operate underground electric traction trains, the City & South London Railway in 1890, is now part of the Northern line.

Robert Flavell Micklewright RWS (1923–2013) was a British artist, illustrator and designer. He worked as a freelancer and designed dust jackets for books by C. P. Snow and V. S. Naipaul, and posters for London Transport.

Because 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.

When framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.

These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
