No need to ask a p'liceman, 1908 : John Hassall (1868-1948)

Gouache

This was the first pictorial poster commissioned by Pick for the Underground. The bold graphic design contrasted sharply with the wordy layout of earlier transport posters. Hassall, an established and popular commercial artist, was an excellent choice to launch the new approach.
