NORMAN WILKINSON (1882-1971)

Peaceful twilight hues dominate the landscape, as a train steams through a valley, a flock of sheep in repose in the foreground and Ben More mountain in the background. Norman Wilkinson designed the "L.M.S carriage window series," a series of 6 posters with vistas one would see from a train window. This is number 2 in the series.
