Halfsheet vintage poster, designed by
Stanley Herbert in 1939, was created for London Transport to advertise the Dairy Show held at Earls Court.
Poster Details
Event: Dairy Show
Artist: Stanley Herbert
Date: 1939
Original Purpose: These posters were typically printed as small-sized "panel posters" (roughly 12 x 10 inches) for display inside London Underground carriages and buses to promote city events.
Visual Style: The design features a bold, blue-toned cow head against a textured background, incorporating the iconic London Underground roundel symbol.
The poster's use of a large, stylized cow head is often compared to later iconic works, such as Andy Warhol's "Cow" series (1966–1976), which also utilized bright, artificial colors and repetition in its presentation. |
