Clark was a military and historical painter and the majority of his posters feature scenes of Britain's pageantry. Originally designed in the 1930s, his popular images were often re-issued by British Railways in the 1950s. This same image was used with different text, "Trooping the Color" (see Swann sale 2524 Lot 94).
