About the Item

Original vintage travel advertising poster issued by Shell - To Visit Britain's Landmarks You Can Be Sure Of Shell - featuring a view of the historic Temple Bar gate by the English painter Edward Scroggie (1906–1944) surrounded by green trees and hedgerows when it was located at Theobolds Park in Hertfordshire.

Horizontal. Large Size. Very good condition, repaired tears, minor creasing, minor staining, backed on linen.
