      ARNRID BANNIZA JOHNSTON (1895-1972). FROM THE ARK TO REGENTS PARK / UNDERGROUND. 1931. 40x50 inches, 101x127 cm. The Baynard Press, Lon

      Est: $2,500 - $3,500

      ARNRID BANNIZA JOHNSTON (1895-1972) FROM THE ARK TO REGENTS PARK / UNDERGROUND. 1931. 40x50 inches, 101 1/2x127 cm. The Baynard Press, London. Condition B+: small replaced losses, repaired tears and restoration in margins; slight darkening at edges; minor restoration in image; repaired pin holes in corners. Johnston''s admiration of animals and her sense of humor are quite literally on parade in this poster, which makes the graphic point that the Regents Park Zoo has as many animals as did Noah''s ark. It begins where the Ark landed, with the animals are filing out two-by-two into the Mt. Ararat tube station. On either side of the entrance are animal-centric posters, and a canine newsboy is hawking the daily papers with animal headlines. They are all passing another group of anthropomorphic animals hard at work on improving the Underground. Once they arrive in at Regents Park, the animals take the escalator up and deposit themselves contentedly in the zoo. In March 1932, the London Underground Staff Magazine listed this image "as one of the most popular posters… as judged by demands made for copies by the public" (London Transport p. 142). Yet, it remains rare today, as we could only find six copies at auction since 1997. London Transport 135.

      ARNRID BANNIZA JOHNSTON (1895-1972). FOR THE REGENTS PARK ZOO / UNDERGROUND. 1930. 40x24 inches, 101x63 cm. Vincent Brooks, Day & Son,

      Est: $3,000 - $4,000

      ARNRID BANNIZA JOHNSTON (1895-1972) FOR THE REGENTS PARK ZOO / UNDERGROUND. 1930. 40x24 3/4 inches, 101 1/2x63 cm. Vincent Brooks, Day & Son, Ltd., London. Condition A- / B+: minor repaired tears, creases and light skinning in margins. Johnston was a sculptor, painter, illustrator and poster designer. Throughout all of the mediums in which she worked, her love of animals was always apparent. She also had a wonderful sense of humor, too, as seen here in this role-reversing, amusing social satire, in which animals are visiting human specimens in the zoo. The exhibitions are each caged off according to their walk of life or profession. Johnston cleverly encapsulates who you might see while visiting the zoo, playfully switching the roles of viewers and viewees.
