These vintage film posters and advertisements were recently uncovered in a London Underground tube station at Notting Hill. The passage is closed to the public, as it's been out of use since the late 1950's, but getting to look at the pictures is like seeing a little time capsule.
It's like a preserved graphics museum. Although looking at images of this old subway station tunnel makes me think of Celia's watery ending from the movie Atonement... my step-sister Courtney is reading the book now, and has made me want to pick it up. Or, at least re-rent it, if nothing else for the emerald dress.
Celia's final hours hiding from an air raid in a soon-to-be-flooded tube station.
