Book Description

Part of the "Where History Lingers" series of railway posters which were produced to connect historic events with well-known places and railway destinations; this poster depicts Salisbury Cathedral and the visit by King Charles II in 1651, presumably to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
Dealer Notes
Claude Buckle (1905-1973), produced designs for some 85 posters and 25 carriage prints for the railways in the immediate pre- and post-war years, making him one of the most prolific and recognised railway poster artists. He was a great friend of Terence Cuneo and admirer of his work in the same genre.
