Frank Newbould did extensive work for the London & North Eastern Railway, as well as the Great Western Railway, The Orient Line and the Belgian Railways. In 1926, he was one of five artists contracted to work exclusively for the LNER; the others were Tom Purvis, Austin Cooper, Frank Mason and Fred Taylor. The contract lasted for three years. Adept at rendering both architecture and people, Newbould composed his colorful posters with a strong graphic eye.
