EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster, titled "The Royal Mail Routes to Ireland" takes us back to the year 1957 when British Railways (BR) aimed to promote their shipping routes from Heysham, Lancashire to Belfast, Northern Ireland, and from Holyhead on the Isle of Angelsea to Dun Laoghaire near Dublin, Ireland. The artistic brilliance of Shearing is evident in this stunning print that measures 1016 mm x 635 mm. The poster beautifully captures the essence of each region it represents.
