A classic, rare 1938 poster for the London Underground designed by the Surrealist artist Man Ray is one of the highlights of a graphic design sale to be held by Swann Galleries on May 3.
Produced for London Transport in the artist’s signature photographic Rayograph style, the 3ft 3in x 2ft (1m x 63cm) poster features an image of a Saturn-like planet and the Underground symbol as if portrayed in space as part of the solar system, with the slogan Keeps London Going.
