Changing The Guard
Dry mounted one sheet, "
Changing the Guard" is a vintage London Underground poster created by the artist Edward Bawden in 1925. The poster was commissioned by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London to promote travel to the popular ceremony. It depicts the Changing of the King's Life Guard at Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall, with a block-like, graphic illustration style.
The poster provides details about the daily military tattoos, including locations and times for the Changing the Guard ceremony at Horse Guards and at Buckingham Palace or St. James's Palace, along with the nearest Underground stations.
The Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace takes place on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 10:45 am, with the official handover at 11:00 am. The ceremony at Horse Guards Parade is for the King's Life Guard and also takes place at 11:00 am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Edward Bawden was a notable 20th-century artist and designer known for his bold graphic illustrations, printmaking, and commercial art. He worked with a wide range of clients, including the London Underground, for which he created many posters.
