I've always really liked the classic British railway posters, in particular the Underground ones. In most cases they're so simple, with clean typography and a colourful illustration. Easily notifiable and pretty iconic in British poster design. I've come across this brilliant collection British Railway posters, whilst looking for images to contrast with A.M. Cassandre's Nord Express posters for my HACCS ‘cross reference’.
Here are some of my favourites (probably quite a lot!):
I actually have an Underground poster similar to these (a print, not an original) that someone gave me, but I've never really had it up on the wall – wouldn't suit my room!
