Congrès International des Postes Londres 1929 - souvenir brochure : cover artwork by Austin Cooper
It is always grand to find a work by an artist you admire and that you've never seen before. This cover to the souvenir for the Congrès International des Postes held in London in 1929 and issued on behalf of the Associated British Railways has artwork by an artist much associated with the London & North Eastern Railway and London Transport, Austin Cooper. It is very much in his style and shows the 'automatic apparatus' that was used to deliver and colelct mail from a moving Travelling Post Office train and that was installed at many locations on Britain's railways. It is very 'LNER" in feel this and uses Cooper's drawn lettering that you'd see on various of his posters and artworks.
