Original Vintage Travel Poster Cutty Sark Clipper Ship London UK Tom Eckersley

About the Item

Original vintage London Transport poster advertising the historic Cutty Sark museum ship in Greenwich featuring a great design by the notable artist Tom Eckersley (1914-1997) depicting the iconic tea clipper in full sail against a yellow background with a white sun, the image inside the shape of an oil lamp on a shaded brown background with the text and London Underground roundel below - In 1871 Cutty Sark, heavily laden with the first tea crop, raced from Shanghai in 108 days. She carried 32,000 square feet of sail and was capable of 17.5 knots. She now rests dry-berthed at Greenwich, the last of the clippers, the sole survivor of an age. Built in Dumbarton, Scotland in 1869 Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship, one of the last and fastest tea clippers to be built. The free leaflet A Day Out in Greenwich describes the many interesting things to explore there. Please write for a copy to the Public Relations Officer at 55 Broadway, London SW1 or ask at any London Transport Travel Enquiry Office. Printed by Cook Hammond and Kell Ltd. Very good condition, small tears, minor creasing.
