The Railway Journeys in Art series is a nine-volume definitive collection of railway posters from Britain, Europe, Australia and North America. Each volume is a mixture of travel documentary, geographical and historical study, graphic artists reference and poster database all interlinked using the central theme of railway posters. Volume 1: Scotland is a good place to start. It won the Scottish non-fiction book of the year when published. It has a rich history, wonderful geography and unique culture. More than 330 Scottish posters, many previously unpublished in books, are included, and a comprehensive text not only gives details about the poster, but also the region or service to which it refers, with an emphasis on the history behind the poster. The text is detailed, very readable and enjoyable. Indeed you can journey around Scotland without leaving your seat, through the medium of the posters and text. AUTHOR: Richard Furness has been interested in railways from his earliest recollections. Living close to the railway lines in the historic and industrial part of East Shropshire, he grew up to the sights, smells and sounds of the steam locomotives. Richard has been writing books on railway-related subjects for many years. He is the author of the successful and critically-acclaimed Poster to Poster series.
