About Knaresborough Heritage Centre Talk - Around the UK in Classic Railway Posters - Knaresborough Methodist Church

Around the UK in Classic Railway Posters - Presented by Jane Ellis.

The “golden age” of the railway poster was probably between the wars, but the poster as we know it evolved from humble beginnings in the 19th century and improved with advancements in colour printing, before declining with the formation of British Railways. The railway companies used the skills of well-known artists of the day to illustrate the posters, and we shall see many examples of their work.

Speaker Jane Ellis is actively involved with the Industrial History Section of Yorkshire Archaeological & Historical Society, secretary of Leeds Camera Club and has been running the Yorkshire branch of the Railway Ramblers’ Club for over 30 years.
