Lincolnshire - Its Quicker by Rail, LNER poster, 1924
Poster produced for London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote rail travel to Lincoln, Lincolnshire. The poster shows a view of Lincoln Cathedral towering over the rest of the city.

Artwork by Fred Taylor, who was commissioned in 1930 to design four ceiling paintings for the Underwriting Room at Lloyds and murals for Reeds Lacquer Room. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and other London galleries and worked for the Empire Marketing Board, LNER, London Transport and several shipping companies. Dimensions: 1016 mm x 1270 mm
