The Railway Journeys in Art series is a nine-volume definitive collection of British and international railway posters which showcases many of the railway posters from the National Railway Museum at York and other museums and galleries. 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. In Volume 7 we take a journey through the West Country and the Channel Islands using many images unique to this series. The result is a stunning artistic guide to both the glorious South West and its railway poster heritage. The TV personalities and Book Club hosts Richard and Judy have written the Foreword. 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.
