This print takes us back in time to the bustling marketplaces of old-world Lincoln. Created in 1932, this LNER poster was designed to entice travelers to explore the historic city through rail travel. The artwork by Austin Cooper beautifully captures an 18th-century market scene, with vibrant stalls and lively merchants engaging with customers. In the background, the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral stands tall and majestic, providing a breathtaking backdrop to this vibrant marketplace. Its towering spires seem to reach for the heavens, reminding us of the rich history and architectural wonders that await visitors in Lincoln.
