This poster formed a set designed to be shown together at National Trust sites and linked by bold and abstract forms and use of colour. Artist David Gentleman (born 1930) was asked to design a series of posters which would present unexpected aspects of the Trust's activities in a new and exciting way. Two other posters from the set are at E.782-1994 and E.784-1994.
