Wilkinson was a prolific poster artist for the British railway companies in the 1920s and 30s, and a renowned marine painter. He "was commissioned to produce a series of posters illustrating the many different sports and pastimes that could be enjoyed within the area covered by the LMS." Here, in a bucolic Scottish glen he depicts a pleasure steamer cruising "one of the most beautiful and romantic lochs in Scotland."
