Poster to Poster Railway Journeys in Art, Vol. 2: Yorkshire and the North East

Description

In a unique arrangement with the National Railway Museum in York, the Poster to Poster series is an eight-volume definitive collection of British railway posters which showcases some of the greatest collections of railway posters to be found anywhere in the world. Each volume is a mixture of travel documentary, geographical and historical study, graphic artists reference and poster database all interlinked using the central theme of railway posters. This second volume uses our National Collection to take a journey around Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire using many images unique to this series. The result is a stunning artistic guide to both the birthplace of railways and its railway poster heritage. With a foreword by the BBC s Paul Atterbury, it is a wonderful nostalgic journey.
