Product Overview
British rail travel poster - "Travel Cheaply by LNER." A mouse plays the piano as a duck sings. This poster was produced for the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote rail travel to East Coast resorts in 1933. It is the first one in a set of six humorous posters with the caption "I do like to be beside - the Drier Side!" It shows a cartoon of a duck in a Pierrot costume singing while standing next to the silhouette of a grand piano being played by a mouse.

He designed posters for the LNER, GWR (Great Western Railway), Orient Line and Belgian Railways. There is a border around the image. The image size is correct. Many sizes available.
