OverviewThe successful and critically-acclaimed Railway Journeys in Art series is a nine-volume definitive collection of British railway posters which showcases many of the railway posters from the National Railway Museum at York and other museums and galleries. Each volume is a mixture of travel documentary, geographical and historical study, graphic artists' reference and poster database - all interlinked using the central theme of railway posters. Volume 8 uses the National Collection to take a journey around some wonderful continental destinations such as France and Italy, which both the British and foreign railway companies advertised, before examining general British poster policy and the services our railways offered, covering hotels, ferry, air and freight services and holiday guides. This is a high quality production and is fully illustrated with beautiful and memorable posters. It is a stunning book that should appeal to everyone, not just railway enthusiasts.
