Produktbeschreibung

The Poster to Poster series is a nine-volume definitive collection of British railway posters which showcases many of the railway posters from the National Railway Museum at York and other museums and galleries. Each volume is a mixture of travel documentary, geographical and historical study, graphic artists' reference and poster database - all interlinked using the central theme of railway posters. The fourth volume of the Poster to Poster series covers the Eastern Counties. The result is a stunning artistic guide to both the 'flatlands of England' and its artistic heritage.

Autorenporträt

Dr Richard Furness has been interested in railways from his earliest recollections. Living close to the railway lines in the historic and industrial part of East Shropshire, he grew up to the sights, smells and sounds of the steam locomotives. He is better known as a leading international expert on flow measurement. He is currently the only person to hold Fellow Status in both the American and UK professional engineering societies in Measurement and Control. Writing books on railway-related subjects, as he has been doing for the past 15 years, is the evening job! He is the author of the successful and critically-acclaimed Poster to Poster series.
