Original, vintage, London Transport poster, The Proud City. St Clement Danes, designed by Walter Spradbery, 1944. Spradbery was commissioned by London Transport in 1944 to design a set of six morale-boosting posters showing that London (and Londoners) stood defiant in the face of Nazi bombing campaigns. Entitled ‘The Proud City’, the series was hugely popular, and reprinted for worldwide distribution by the Ministry of Information. This image shows the church of St Clement Danes, on the Strand.
