Godstone, London Underground 1915

"Godstone, London Underground" is a 1915 poster by Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poster, which is a prime example of graphic design in the early 20th century, depicts a quarry near Godstone, Surrey, where the chalk used for the London Underground was extracted. This poster used bold colours and geometric shapes to create a dynamic and eye-catching composition. The simplified forms of the quarry and the train carriages create a sense of movement and energy, while the bright colours make the poster visually striking. The poster is a powerful reminder of the industrial landscape of Britain in the early 20th century, and it is a testament to Kauffer's skill as a graphic designer.
