The Booklovers Britain: Yarmouth, LNER poster, 1933
Poster produced for the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote rail travel to the Norfolk coastal resort of Yarmouth, where part of Charles Dickenss (1812-1870) novel, David Copperfield, was set. The illustration shows a scene from the book, with the young characters of David Copperfield and Little Emily seen in front of the Peggotty family home, which is formed from a disused boat. Artwork by Austin Cooper, a Canadian who studied art in Cardiff and Arbroath. He began his career as a commercial artist in Montreal, but returned to London in 1922 and designed posters for LNER, Indian State Railways and London Transport. His first show was held at the London Gallery in 1948

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time and immerse yourself in the literary world of Charles Dickens with this photo print. Produced by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote rail travel to the enchanting Norfolk coastal resort of Yarmouth, this poster transports you to a scene straight out of David Copperfield. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Austin Cooper, captures a pivotal moment from Dickens' beloved novel. In front of the Peggotty family home - ingeniously fashioned from an old boat - we find ourselves witnessing the meeting between young David Copperfield and Little Emily. The illustration beautifully brings to life their innocent friendship against a backdrop that exudes both charm and nostalgia. Cooper's talent as a commercial artist shines through in this piece, showcasing his ability to evoke emotion and transport viewers into another era. Having studied art in Cardiff and Arbroath before embarking on his career as an artist, Cooper's return to London saw him designing posters not only for LNER but also for Indian State Railways and London Transport. This remarkable print is part of the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection; it serves as a testament to both British literature and railway history. So take a journey through time with "The Booklovers Britain: Yarmouth" and let your imagination wander amidst the pages of one of Charles Dickens' most cherished tales.
