"Leave your Luggage here" - left luggage office poster for the Tilling Group of Omnibus Companies by Harry Stevens MSIA, c1958

In the 1950s, under the auspices of the British Transport Commission, the nationalised transport authority who owned many UK bus companies through its "Tilling" subsidiaries, produced posters to rival those of its railway activities. This c1958, cheerful and striking poster by Harry Stevens, reminds passengers of the left luggage facilities operated by the companies. The figure cleverly uses elements of left luggage, including an instrument case, to create the human figure - very neat.
