On Friday 22nd September at 7pm there will be an illustrated talk in the church on Railway Posters by Jane Ellis.
The railway poster evokes fond memories of "the golden age of rail travel" which was probably between the wars, though as with everything else it had humble beginnings and evolved with the advancement of printing techniques and the use of colour. Many of the railway companies used the skills of well-known artists to create the images in their posters, and were proud to be associated with them. We shall see the work of many different artists, using their own very individual styles, before the classic poster as we know it declined with the post-war formation of British Railways.
Tickets are £3 including refreshments, available on the door.
