Description	This London Transport poster was commissioned as part of the Art on the Underground series. The campaign was launched in 1986 to encourage an artistic rather than a commercial approach to poster design. Kay Gallwey's colourful pastel drawing was over 1 metre wide and 1.3 metres high. Her bold style beautifully captures the vibrant atmosphere of Columbia Road on a Sunday morning.
