1960's London Travel Poster
About the Item
Lovely colours in this original English 1960's Royal Blue coach panel poster promoting express coach services to and from London.
This rare poster would have been displayed in a UK travel agents or in a bus or coach serving routes around Britain. Coach firms had a captive market before the advent of mass car ownership and these small panel posters were a reliable form of advertising.
Royal Blue had a near monopoly on routes throughout south-western England which included popular holiday destinations in Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.
This poster has an illustration of a Yeoman of the Guard, or Beefeater, at the Tower of London - a castle in the centre of the city housing the crown jewels.
The poster is in good condition with a slight nick on the left edge. It is linen backed to allow ease of handling and framing.
Free postage.
