Object history
Eleven posters (E.641 to E.651-1923) were given to the Museum in the year of a poster exhibition held for three days at Beard Room, King's Cross, which was reported to give 'the key to the poster policy of the London and North-Eastern Railway.' Further information on these ten and other works included in the show can be found in a review in 'Commercial Art Volume 1 Issue: 11 October 1922 - October 1923 Page: 245'.
