Publisher's Synopsis
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 8th volume uses the National Collection to take a journey around some wonderful European destinations such as France and Italy, which both the British and foreign railway companies advertised, before examining general British poster policy and the services the railways offered, covering hotels, ferry, air and freight services and holiday guides. The result is a stunning artistic guide to both continental destinations and general advertising and their railway poster heritage.
