Gardiner illustrated the book ‘Leaves in the Wind’ in 1919, designed a (famous) poster for Kew Gardens in 1926, and posters for LT, including “At London’s Service”. Some of his work is archived at the LTM, where he is described as a ‘well-known artist’, with the Columbia Encyclopaedia describing him as one of the ‘outstanding poster designers’ of the twentieth century. Gardiner was headmaster at The School of Art at Goldsmiths’ College between 1929 and 1958, under whom it became a respected institution.
