Bath - The Georgian City, BR poster, 1950
Poster produced by British Railways (BR) to promote rail travel to Bath, North East Somerset.

In the 18th century, Bath was the most fashionable resort in England. Artwork by Claude Buckle (1905-1973), who originally trained as an architect, but later turned to pictorial art. He painted in both oil and watercolour and was a prolific poster artist for Great Western Railway (GWR) and BR. Much of his original poster artwork is held at the National Railway Museum
