Yorkshire Dales – Richmond

 with the railways arriving in 1846. This softly coloured poster was

commissioned by LNER in the 1920’s

 Artwork by Orlando Greenwood

 Code number 60653

The outside dimensions of these posters are 70cm x 50cm

 ( 27.6 inches x 19.7 inches )

 

The watermark shown on the image is simply to protect us from internet poaching and to protect copyright . It is not on the print you will receive.

 

These reproductions of the original posters have been cleaned digitally to remove creases, rips , spots , water marks and damaged areas, and the colours have been  restored as closely as possible to those we believe to have been  the artists original intentions.

The Posters are either litho printed or produced on photographic quality proofing presses . The Multi directional print heads on these, ensures continuous tone and colour, whilst eliminating any banding or unwanted tone which is common when inkjet or laser printing is employed. This system produces prints which are faithful reproductions at virtual litho quality .

They are produced on high quality 200 g.s.m. lumi-silk paper, and are  printed to a total outside dimension size of 50 cm x 70 cm which are designed to fit a standard European manufactured frame available from many retailers including IKEA .This considerably  reduces the cost should you wish to frame the prints .

The photographs of the original  posters taken by the National Railway Museum , were undertaken over a number of years during which time , cameras improved in their resolution .

Some of the images from which we have worked are therefore of relatively  low resolution, which means that not all poster images appear to be of the same  “crispness “ .

We have opted to print with a white border around most of the posters to allow for the fact that modern frames do not have the same proportional sizes as the original posters. Each border however  may not be exactly  the same  dimensions around each internal image.  For the sake of standardisation and simplicity in framing however, the principal criterion used has been the absolute outside dimension of 50 cm by 70 cm .

Posters will be dispatched within 48 hours of payment being received and will be sent out in a robust cardboard tube to ensure the poster does not get damaged. If at all possible , we would be grateful if you could quote the image reference number in any correspondence.

 If you are not happy with the poster for any reason then a full refund will be given within 14 days of purchase.  Please contact me before leaving feedback so I can resolve any issues you might have.

 

Thanks for looking.
