GREAT WESTERN ADVERT

The sun shines on Truro - this afternoon at least! If you are thinking of paying a visit to  the Lander Gallery, here is a a reason for coming by train. This is not a print- it is an original design from the desk of the publicity Department at Paddington Station.

It was painted in 1933 as part of a book of suggestions for Great Western Railways.

We have the whole set here in the gallery, each page offering a different advertising design.
Produced by GOODALL ADVERTISING Ltd, 9 Southampton Street, High Holborn, WC1, the book is as immaculate as the day it was brought to Paddington.
The other advert designs are all monochrome but this one is in glorious colour.
If you can't make it to the Gallery or to Cornwall, we can always have this GWR treasure delivered to you! (It is priced at £975. 0p by the way)
