Title - Wales - GWR/LMS.
Artist - Leonard Richmond (1889-1965).
Description - A peaceful view of what we believe to be Snowdonia. It may be generic, or may be a specific location; with a lake and small boats in the middle, what appears to be a ruined castle, and the towering mountains in the background.
The poster was produced by the GWR, and issued jointly with the LMS, as the companies served different parts of Snowdonia so did not directly compete for custom.
Year Published - 1930s
