Horace Taylor: Brightest London (1924) Art Deco Underground Poster

Step into the glamour of the Jazz Age. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Horace Taylor’s Brightest London, one of the most celebrated posters in the history of British advertising.

In 1924, London was emerging as a global center of fashion and entertainment. Horace Taylor’s Brightest London captures this energy through the lens of modern transit. By depicting a stylish cross-section of society—men in top hats and women in flapper dresses—gliding on the newly installed escalators, Taylor made the Underground feel like the gateway to high society. The poster is a triumph of Art Deco design, utilizing a rhythmic, repeating pattern of orange and yellow to suggest movement and the electric glow of the city at night. It is a work that perfectly balances commercial utility with avant-garde artistic flair.

Original 1920s posters were lithographed for maximum color impact but are often found today with significant wear. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to restore the vibrant oranges, deep blues, and crisp typography of Taylor’s original vision. Printed on premium matte art paper, it ensures the bold colors and geometric precision remain a stunning focal point in your home.

A sophisticated Statement Piece for a home office, a creative studio, or a gallery wall dedicated to vintage travel. This Horace Taylor Print is an exceptional gift for graphic designers, history buffs, and lovers of London’s heritage.
