A Water Colour by Claude Buckle Pulteney Bridge
This classic
railway poster artwork shows off one of
Claude Buckle’s best know paintings. The stonework representation with the weir in front makes for a very appealing image and is an
architectural water colour painting of very high standard. This picture shows the original artwork of the poster which is kept at the NRM in York. See the
poster page for an image of the actual poster. Created in 1950.

In fact the artists were often in competition with each other and the publicity officers invited proposals from leading artists all the time and worked in collaboration with them.
