Tube sign Westminster.
London: London Transport 1908-1915. 1030 by 1550mm 40.5 by 61 inches. Next stop Westminster Enamel tube sign with wooden frame. Rare pre-First World War station sign for Westminster tube station. This large enamel sign can be dated to between 1908 to 1915 when the bull's-eye design a solid red disk with a horizontal bar containing the text was adopted by all the various separate underground railway companies. It would be the first time that a coherent graphic design was adopted for the whole of the disparately owned and run network. The bull's-eye design would be superseded when in 1915 the then Underground's publicity manager Frank Pick commissioned the calligrapher Edward Johnston to design a company typeface. His subsequent design: the red circle and blue bar. It is still in use to this day and has rightly become synonymous with London and its famous transport system. London Transport, unknown

Naass Teaching Himself to Read / An Odyssey of the North Three Sheet Poster
Bosworth Inc 1914. Ephemera. Near fine. A terrific large poster for a 1914 silent film based on a Jack London short story. London's story of the same name published in the January 1900 issue of The Atlantic is set in Klondike-era Alaska. One of the central characters Naass is an Aleut whose great-great grandfather was a shipwrecked White European. <br /> <br /> Naass describes himself as "a chief and the son of a chief born between a sunset and a rising on the dark seas in my father’s oomiak." He left the Aleutian Island and came to mainland Alaska. "I turned away from the ocean which never rests and went among the lands where the trees the houses and the mountains sit always in one place and do not move. I journeyed far and came to learn many things even to the way of reading and writing from books." This last is the basis for the image on the poster. <br /> <br /> Hobart Bosworth wrote with Hettie Grey Baker directed and starred in the film version. The poster shows Bosworth as Naass—but looking rather more indigenous than he does in photographs—sitting on a dock and writing in a child's school workbook. The image is a more sympathetic depiction of a Native American that was common at the time.<br /> <br /> The film was released on September 3 1914 by Paramount Pictures. The upper right corner includes an "Authenticated Film" logo for authorized adaptations of Jack London's work. This logo may have resulted from the fact that competing film versions of The Sea Wolf were released in 1913. Bosworth was London's preferred actor and director for film adaptations.<br /> <br /> This is a three-sheet movie poster measuring 42-1/4 by 82 inches assembled from two large stone lithographs on paper mounted to a cloth backing. An exceptional example linen backed with only minor restoration in the margins and the tiniest bit of overpainting to the yellow background at the top. A rare poster. Bosworth, Inc unknown
