BED014 - Edition 2,000

Railway Lorry

Based on a poster that was used for the Railway Country Lorry Services during the thirties and forties. This was produced for the Great Western Railway (GWR), London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS), London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) and Southern Railway (SR) to promote lorry services aimed at linking country villages and farms with towns and cities. A lorry is shown in front of a thatched house, transporting goods.The artwork was produced by Ralph & Mott who were a firm of artists’ agents. They employed a team of artists whose work can be found under the pseudonym Ralph Mott. During this era the big four in competition with each other each developed their own distinctive style of poster advertising with subjects such as resorts, towns and items of wider interest. This was one time when the four combined resulting in a pleasing design which we show here on our Bedford.
