AUSTIN COOPER (1890-1964) THE WESTERN HIGHLANDS. Circa 1928.
39 5/8x49 5/8 inches. John Waddington, London.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears and creases in margins.
Canadian-born Austin Cooper was both a prolific artist (working extensively for the London Underground and Britain's different railway companies) and a stylistic virtuoso. His posters reflect many different design concepts, from the cartoonish to the literal. His work for the LNER also reflected a brightly-colored realism as seen here in this peaceful, Scottish scene. Railway p. 19.
