This diary showcases a selection of the most popular posters from the collection of the national Railway Museum. Showing nostalgic images of the Flying Scotsman and other famous engines, glamorous destinations, dramatic landscapes and sunny beaches, all these posters were commissioned in the golden age of railway travel to be displayed in waiting rooms, booking offices and on platforms to entice the traveller. Each week has a full-page colour illustration and the diary includes national and religious holidays and astronomical information. Beautifully produced in week-to-view format with a colour picture on every spread and a ribbon marker, and with a fresh design, generously laid out, with plenty of room to write, this is a perfect gift for travel and art lovers alike. The National Railway Museum in York is the largest of its kind in the world. It holds an exceptional collection of about 8,000 railway posters dating back to the 1920s.
