Description
The Ghostly Driver Vintage London Underground Poster
This vintage poster from 1912 demonstrates how the London Underground system had a so-called "dead man's handle".
This safety device worked in such a way that the underground train would only move if the driver's hand was physically on the control.
This poster was originally published in Pearson's Magazine, a popular magazine back in 1912.
This image was created by photographing the original poster with a professional high-definition Leica camera. It is not a copy from the internet. With the exceptional photography and exacting standards of color, this guarantees that you get the finest quality possible.
The watermark in the lower right hand corner of the picture does not appear on the final print.
Prints are produced on acid-free paper using archival inks to guarantee they last a lifetime without fading or loss of contrast, color or tone.
If you chose to order a framed print, the framing is done to museum quality with archival matting. The frame is wired and comes with a wall hook. It is ready to hang on the wall.
