Description

Cyril Power regarded London’s Underground Railway, ‘The Tube’, as one of the most potent symbols of the new industrial age. He depicted various aspects of it in his linocuts. This print recalls the staircase at Russell Square station. A contemporary critic warmly recommended it as ‘extremely decorative, and at the same time an illuminating and intimate study of the beauty to be found in an aspect of hyper-modernity’.
