This exquisite original vintage poster, likely issued by the Highland Railway in the 1910s, serves as a captivating promotion for their railway line. The Highland Railway, which commenced services to Dornoch in 1902, operated in the northern reaches of Scotland, with its headquarters in Inverness.
The poster features a mesmerizing view of the Scottish Highlands. A woman accompanied by her dog admires the scenic vista of a loch. The text on the poster showcases attractions such as golf at the Royal Dornoch Golf Club, the historic city of Inverness, and The Highland Hotel in Strathpeffer.
Printed in the Quad Royal size, a British format double the size of a standard poster but on a single sheet, this poster has been expertly mounted on linen. Although graded as a B due to some missing paper in the upper right region, its visual appeal remains stunning. The rarity of this poster is notable, with little to no other known examples or references found. Interested parties are encouraged to request additional photos for closer examination. Truly an extraordinary find!
