"Your Next Move" - Classic Railway Posters

The "Your Next Move and Your Best Is on to Underground" poster by Fred Taylor is a wonderfully inventive piece of Edwardian transport poster design. Published in February 1914 by Johnson, Riddle and Co., the poster depicts a chess board on which the pieces have been replaced by London landmarks and suburban homes — from grand city churches and civic buildings to modest red-roofed suburban houses. The playful concept encourages Londoners to use the Underground to reach homes across the capital, with the tagline "Houses to suit all classes" emphasising the network's broad reach. 

Today, Edwardian London Underground posters from before World War One are among the most historically significant and collectable pieces of early British transport art. This reproduction is ideal for collectors of vintage London Underground prints, Fred Taylor poster art, pre-WW1 London advertising posters, or early 20th century British graphic design for display in homes, offices, or exhibitions. 

Printed with a glossy finish on durable 200 GSM paper, this reproduction preserves the warmth and charm of authentic Edwardian London transport poster art. The Underground Electric Railways of London was among the first transit operators in the world to commission fine art posters to promote travel, a tradition that made the London Underground poster collection one of the most celebrated archives of British graphic design.
