The poster, produced by London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) between 1923 and 1947, transports us back in time to witness the awe-inspiring sight of the Irish Mail departing from this historic bridge. Designed by renowned engineer Robert Stephenson in 1850, the Britannia Tubular Bridge gracefully spans over the Menai Straits towards Anglesey in Wales.

The artistic touch behind this masterpiece comes from Norman Wilkinson (1878-1971), a celebrated marine painter who studied at Portsmouth and Southsea Schools of Art. His expertise shines through as he captures both the grandeur of the bridge itself and its harmonious integration with its natural surroundings. Wilkinson's talent extended beyond this particular poster; he designed numerous other railway posters for various companies throughout his career.
