Scott was a painter and illustrator whose landscapes were exhibited with the Royal Academy. He designed posters for the government during World War I and went on to more commercial work during the period between the wars, including a series of images for the LNER and LMS. The motif of an attractive young woman on the platform about to board a Pullman wagon was initially used by W.S. Bylityllis, in 1926, to promote travel on the Golden Arrow, between London and Paris.
