Pretty Old Puffins

Bank holiday weekends mean clearing out the loft in our house and these 60s and 70s Puffin books were just a few of the finds.

My favourite find.

Notice how huge the Puffin logos are.

Moose?

Transport Museum: Mind the Map

The last in my series of London blogs from Wednesday, and the second from the Trasport Museum. This time focusing on the temporary exhibition, Mind the Map. It was excellent by the way.

I don't just photograph the visual things at exhibitions, I photograph text too.

Illustrated maps are brilliant.

And then comes the tube map…

Including pocket maps.

Geographical tube maps, before Harry Beck.

Harry Beck changed everything…

Current map.

Clever and simple poster.

Classic.

And some tube type to end.

Transport Museum: Posters

I visited the London Transport Museum on Wednesday, I was last there in October but there were a few new things/things I must have missed – including some lovely posters (some are suspiciously Olympics related).

Always essential to photograph some lettering.

Old maps on old trains.

Places to swim outdoors in London! Albeit, several decades ago.

Love this Wimbledon poster.

Lovely colours.

Typographic bus blinds.

One more blog to come, of the Mind the Map temporary exhibition.
