The poster was first published in 1931 to advertise Tube travel into the West End following the opening of the new Piccadilly Circus Underground station. Depicting the vibrant glow of London’s iconic cityscape, the poster is titled ‘The West-End is awakening - and once again there is everything for your pleasure’.
Created by Huddersfield born painter, designer and sculptor, Ernest Michael Dinkel, the original poster depicts people of all ages silhouetted against the bright lights of Piccadilly. The iconic bronze statue of the archer Anteros - more commonly known by Londoners as Eros – can be seen centre-stage with St Paul’s Cathedral standing tall in the distance.
