Dora Batty was a British designer working in illustration, poster design, pottery, and textiles. Batty was commissioned by the Underground and London transport to design over 500 posters throughout the 1920’s-30’s. These posters were created with a goal in promoting travel in and out of the capital. Batty uses these posters to examine different uses and users of the london underground. With an affinity for textiles and fashion, we can see snapshots of the time for fashion and textiles, as she created detailed illustrations of the uniforms and clothing of the time worn by the users of the railroad.
