Vintage Railway Posters

Pictures taken at Swanage Railway Station ~ I love these old railway travel and information posters. The main picture looks like a very smart 1950's family. Many of the early posters were actually silk screen printed & commissioned by railway companies to tempt travellers to explore the country. Several of the original paintings for these posters are now held in public art collections

So machte man früher Werbung liebe Rosa und so farbenfroh,das gefällt mir immer besser,als wie es heute geziegt wird,man kann diese Poster länger ansehen,weil einfach was rüberkommt,da hast du sehr schöne Exemplare entdeckt,wobei mir dein Hauptbild mit dieser Familie am Besten gefällt,der Herr raucht in Ruhe seine Pfeife und die Familie genießt die Reise,alles ohne Stress,so würde es das jetzt nicht mehr geben,der Stress macht alles kaputt :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Unos carteles vintages bonitos y deseo que eficaces. Se aprecian tiempos pretéritos en muchos detalles, como el fumar en el vagón de pasajeros. Los avances técnicos hacen que los trenes de hoy no se puedan abrir en marcha. Buen y sano jueves, Rosa.
