Original, and very uncommon, travel poster, Zoo Ahoy, designed by John Burningham for London Transport and published in 1961. The design features a model of Noah’s Ark made by Burningham, complete with plasticine animals, set on a tissue paper sea, with text advertising trips to the Zoo in Regent’s Park and at Whipsnade.

Before finding international fame as a children’s author and illustrator, John Burningham designed nine posters for London Transport. You can read more about Burningham’s travel posters here.
