What it is
A 1922 Underground poster. Fire and smoke engulf an abstracted grey castle, with the museum and its stations lettered beneath in grey and red.
Why it matters
The London Museum then stood near Dover Street and St. James's Park stations, and both are named on the sheet.
What to notice
The flames take more of the sheet than the building does.
The city's past as a fire you can visit by train.
