This poster was published by London Transport in 1933. It advertises travel to Derby Day, one of the oldest horse races in the world. The event was established by the Earl of Derby in 1779, and since then has attracted a huge crowd. The poster is signed Andrew Power. This was a composite signature used by the Grosvenor School artists Sybil Andrews and Cyril Power. They produced seven posters for London Transport that year.
