One of the great railway poster books
at only £19.50 plus p&p... a superb idea for a gift
A tour around Britain during the
middle years of the 20th century using beautiful landscape paintings
by leading poster artists commissioned by the railway companies.
Reliving the days of steam when
railways resembled travelling art galleries!
Using many of the prints from
his personal collection, the author takes us on a nostalgic
tour of Britain in the mid-20th century, before modern town
planning and the motor car had exerted their baneful influence
on the landscape. From the mid 1930s to the late 1960s, trains
virtually became travelling art galleries and it is this period
which forms the centerpiece of this book.
