This print showcases a vintage LNER poster from 1933, designed to entice travelers to the picturesque town of Whitby in Yorkshire. The London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) spared no effort in promoting rail travel with this stunning artwork by E Arnsworth. Measuring an impressive 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this poster is a true testament to the grandeur and allure of Whitby.
