The BBC has another great but offputtingly-named series on BBC4 at the moment, called Inside Antiques. This week’s show is on the history of commercial posters, starting in Europe, through their use in World War I to being revived by the railway and underground companies of Britain. There’s lots of good stuff here, with a sojourn to the National Railway Museum archive, and inevitably an aside about Beck’s tube map.
