London Transport Poster by Edward Alexander Wadsworth (1889-1949), 'SOUTH KENSINGTON [...] FOR THE MUSEUMS', one of two lithographs in colours, 1936, printed by Curwen Press, Plaistow, London; backed on linen

In 1936 the London Transport Board (now Transport for London) published two posters designed by Edward Wadsworth (2012-170 and 2012-171) to promote the South Kensington Museum. Wadsworth was inspired by the abstract forms he found within the Science Museum collections, including this late-19th-century plaster model of a cubic surface model of a cubic surface representing an equation.
