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.
