"The interwar years saw a creative collaboration between the London Transport and a number of talented artists, whose work, published in various print media, enticed the public to travel the Underground, bus and Green Line coach. Away we go! focuses on two leading artists from the period, Eric Ravilious and Edward Bawden, good friends who had studied together at the Royal College of Art ... A fascinating record of their work exists in a set of guard books -- printed proofs of advertisements -- produced by the Curwen Press and housed in the archives of London's Transport Museum. Until now, few of these designs have been republished in their original form, with text, even though the images were intended to complement the accompanying words and can only be partially appreciated without them."--A Design Culture, p.
