- Synopsis
- This page shows a Paris Metro sign designed in the Art Nouveau style by French architect Hector Guimard circa 1900. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The actual sign, with the word METROPOLITAIN on it, is in the centre of the page. To its left and right are the signs green supports. They have an organic style and are based on sinuous plant forms. The sign and its supports form an arch shape at the entrance to a Metro station. There is a lamp standard on each side of the page. Again, they are based on curved plant forms. At the top of each standard is an orange globe to hold a light bulb, protected from the elements by a hood shaped part. Stretching across the bottom of the page is an enlarged version of the sign above with the word METROPOLITAIN showing the distinctive flowing shapes of the upper case letters.
