Original Antique Travel Poster Weald Of Kent Southern Railway Donald Maxwell Art

About the Item

Original antique travel poster - The Weald of Kent Southern Railway - featuring scenic artwork by Donald Maxwell (1877-1936) depicting a windmill with trees, a church and cottages in a village below the fields, traditional Kent oast houses / hop kilns on the side with the steam from a train visible in front of the hills in the distance, the bold title text in outlined green lettering on the margins above and below with more text reading - Come with me to Headcorn and stand by the old mill, a veritable cameo of Merrie England still harnessing the winds and defying change, and I will show you a landscape such as will sweep the cobwebs from your brain. The village below, with its ancient church and half-timbered vicarage, the oasthouses, those true castles of Kent, nestling in the trees... and beyond it all. Belt upon belt, the wooded, dim, Blue goodness of the weald. From Unknown Kent. The Weald of Kent is conveniently reached from London (Charing Cross, Cannon Street, or London Bridge Stations) by fast trains to Headcorn Junction. The journey occupying 1 3/4 hours. It is also within easy reach of the many charming holiday resorts along the Kent Coast - with the train services, fares and timetable information. Headcorn is located in Maidstone Kent; the Headcorn Junction railway station was opened in 1905 as an extension from Tenterden Town and rebuilt by Southern Railway in 1924-1930, closing in 1954. Horizontal. Large size. Good condition, folds, staining, browning, repaired tears, minor creasing, backed on linen, linen trimmed edges.
