Norman Wilkinson LMS / Royal Highlander Approaches Aberdeen vintage poster c. 1927 39.875 h × 49.875 w in (101 × 127 cm) "Norman Wilkinson was commissioned to produce a series of posters illustrating the many different sports and pastimes that could be enjoyed within the area covered by the LMS. 'In the territory of the LMS system,' he said, 'one finds every possible form of sport-salmon and trout fishing, shooting, hunting, yachting, racing, deer stalking and, of course, the best of golf" (Railway Posters, p. 104). Wilkinson was a famous marine painter who also designed posters for the British railways, and organized the series by Royal Academy artists for the LMS railway in 1924. The Royal Highlander, introduced around 1927, was a named express passenger train running between London and Scotland via the West Coast Main Line, associated with the LMS Railway and marketed as a prestigious long-distance service connecting the capital with the Scottish Highlands. An example of this poster is held in the collection of the Science Museum Group, United Kingdom. McCorquodale & Co., Ltd., Glasgow and London This work will ship from Chicago, Illinois.
