Condition B+ / B: restored margin along top left edge; restoration, repaired tears and overpainting at edges. One in a "series of three designed by Ronald Lampitt in an innovative mosaic style using grouped rectangles in different colors . . . The designs were much admired. The Railway Gazette was particularly impressed: 'The richness of color and design obtained by the Romans in their tesselated pavements have inspired a new style of Great Western Railway poster . . . The tesselated principle offers new possibilities in poster advertising by reasons of its effectiveness when viewed from a distance' (15 May, 1936)" (Railway p. 44). Le Train p. 130, Railway p. 44.
