Scotland - East Coast Route - poster for the London & North Eastern Railway by Frank Brangwyn RA, 1924

This is an early poster for the LNER as it was only formed in 1923. I really like the works of Frank Brangwyn - one of the most fascinating and prolific British artists of the early 20th century who did many works in engraving. This striking illustration of the Royal Border Bridge viaduct at Berwick upon Tweed, the scale dwarfing the men below and the train high above. The poster was one of a series of bridges by Brangwyn.
