“Why Go Home So Soon?” Collection

4889_1432_240_240_FFFFFF_0 
The “Why Go Home So Soon?” Collection is another range developed from the artwork in the London Transport Museum Poster Collection.

The items available are the usual sort of thing that the London Transport Museum sells – mugs, travelcard holders, coasters and placemats – but the designs are really rather lovely. They date back to 1938 from a series of posters encouraging commuters to dine out, under the slogan “Why Go Home So Soon?” Marc Fernand Severin did the original illustrations, which are in a typical 1930s style.

A set of four coasters costs £12.99. Visit the London Transport Museum website to see the full collection.
