Publisher's Synopsis
The Poster to Poster series is an eight-volume definitive collection of British railway posters which showcases many of the railway posters from the National Railway Museum at York. 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.
