Inspired by the modernity of London's subway system,popularly known as the Tube,Power featured it in many of his signature linocuts.The disengaged passengers on this crowded train prefer to read their newspapers rather than to interact with one another.Alienation,a byproduct of modern life is a theme often present in Power's images of the Tube.Power designed posters for the London Passenger Transit Board from 1929-1937,promoting the use of the system under the pseudonym

"Andrew-Power."
