Original vintage British travel poster promoting London as a travel destination, likely issued in 1953, the year of Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation. Published by British Railways, the poster encourages visitors to “Visit London – See Britain by Rail”.
The artwork, by Gordon Nicoll, depicts the Queen's Life Guard—drawn from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment—riding ceremoniously down The Mall, passing the Victoria Memorial with Buckingham Palace in the background. The image captures a moment of regal pageantry, bathed in a glowing afternoon light beneath a softly painted sky, evoking both tradition and grandeur.
This is an authentic original lithograph, professionally linen backed and in very good condition, with small edge tears and minor overpainting in the margins. A beautifully composed and historically significant piece reflecting mid-century British travel and royal celebration.
This is an Authentic Original Vintage Poster from its time. It's not a new reproduction.
