so much atmosphere these charming posters..saw some on Antique Roadshow priceless BBC 2 6.30pm program..
Found this great website to see more..
I would love to see posters like this advertising todays products..
as I said before with drawn covers for magazines..the same could be the same for adverts and posters..
These artists out there need jobs..the photographers shouldn't have the monopoly..

Re: Train and travel posters..
I particularly like the Coronation poster, because the Gresley A4s are probably my favourite locomotive class, and the painting captures speed very well.
At home I have a model railway and I have two A4s - Mallard in LNER garter blue, and Andrew K McCosh (named after an LNER director) in BR green.
Another rather famous railway travel poster is the LNER's jolly fisherman skipping along the beach! This and a few others can be seen at the National Railway Museum.

Re: Train and travel posters..
great stylized idealism, Peter; my kitchen walls are festooned with reproductions of 30s/40s contemporary ads: you'd love 'em!

Re: Train and travel posters..
i like how the colours all blend together in a pleasing way..

the steam really adds to the magic..and the mystery..
The colouring had a real hyper realness to it..just the right amount of detail and good solid colours..
Re: Train and travel posters..
I have for a long time loved these posters, dragging us back to comics slightly, here is Viz Comics' take on the Skegness poster (it has swearing on it I should point out before you hit the link)

Does anyone know of one of these railway posters advertising either Weymouth or Portland, where I live, I would like to get a big one for my kitchen wall but have never seen any. The Portland line has long since been 'Beechinged' but the trackbed is a most pleasureable walk if anyone is ever down this way.
