For the Zoo 1933

"For the Zoo" is a 1933 poster by Maurice A. Miles. The poster depicts an elephant in a jungle setting, with large, bold brushstrokes and geometric shapes that are characteristic of Art Deco style. The poster was likely commissioned to promote the London Zoo and the use of the Underground railway system to get there, as evidenced by the text at the bottom of the poster. It serves as a great example of poster art from the Art Deco period, utilizing bold colors and simplified forms to catch the viewer's eye.
