hello everyone,
new member - glad to be here.
I‘m a fairly avid collector and occasional seller of advertising posters of various kinds - travel, cinema, auto, propaganda and of course, railway. currently in my inventory I have a very large 8-sheet billboard poster (roughly 9 feet by 7 feet) and I was wondering whether anyone could perhaps tell me any more about it?
the piece was printed by Scallen and Company, formerly of Lisle St London and was originally printed in eight sheets, since combined onto cotton canvas/linen. Annoyingly, I can see now in my image an artists signature close to the foot of the front right wheel. I can dig the poster out of storage if anyone requires it?
lovely bit of Art Deco design, I think, and while I have seen the image before on pamphlets and associated memorabilia of the period I haven’t seen the poster itself elsewhere.
Hopefully you’ll find it of interest and thanks in advance for any further information you may be able to supply.
Phil.
