The forgotten artist who designed posters for London Underground
An exhibition has recently opened in Westcliff-on-Sea of an artist whose work has been in the public eye since the 1920s, but whose name probably won't be familiar.
Margaret Calkin James was born in London in 1895. Her most popular works were the posters she designed for London Underground with pastoral images of Kenwood and Boxhill contrasting with those for Trooping the Colour.
Fiona Clampin went to talk to art historian Alan Powers about Margaret's work. But first she visited her daughter Elizabeth Argent, at her home in the Midlands, to look at her mother's work before it went off to the exhibition.
