Distinguished painter and printmaker Brian Rice first conceived this series of linocuts in 1963 as a
response to his move from Somerset to London, where he was instantly
struck by the City's plethora of new Bauhaus inspired road and
underground signs and symbols. These influences together with an

This series was originally proofed
as linocuts on Japanese paper but never editioned until 2014. In 2003 the
Tate Gallery acquired two larger works from this series.
