''TAKE ME BY THE FLYING SCOTSMAN'
- Vintage Railway Poster print of Take Me by the Flying Scotsman. Large QUALITY light oak rimmed glazed frame - would make an interesting and FABULOUS XMAS GIFT!
Additional info; Artist Alfred Thomson created the image in the Art Deco style, emphasising the huge scale and sleekness of the Gresley A1 class locomotive that bore the name of the famous London to Edinburgh service.
The painting appeared on a London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) poster from 1932, accompanied by the slogan ‘Take Me by the Flying Scotsman'. The composition, which shows a young girl in a hat looking up in awe at the driver of the train, is a pastiche of an earlier Southern Railway poster.
