Propaganda

The posters were originally produced as a memento of home for troops serving on the Front Line during the First World War.

Before the First World War, the Underground Group had developed a reputation for commissioning successful advertising posters. Colourful designs presented London in a new light, encouraging people to take trips to the countryside, theatre or the zoo. As the war dragged on it became inappropriate to promote non-essential leisure travel. Instead, propaganda posters for display at home and abroad were commissioned.

Four posters, titled 'London Memories', were sent to troops fighting on the Western Front. The posters were displayed in army billets to raise morale and to remind soldiers of home.
