Some cracking posters there, how on earth were they left forgotten in an attic
That'll be a popular auction no doubt, some great social history on offer.

Kerching!
I do love these style of old railway posters and the reproductions are still very popular. We have one of the Headstone Viaduct, Monsal Dale on the wall.

They are fantastic, what a find.
I like the Service by Night one, don't think I could stretch to 2k though unfortunately!

I've always loved these posters
Bought 2 of the Lake District last time I was in Keswick, decorating the kitchen now, just to remind me of what I'm missing.

Re: 'Holy grail' rail posters collection saved from attic
I've been to many a railway auction where these type of posters have been on offer and they really are superb. I prefer those by Cuneo - I've got one of his posters and a few Limited Edition prints........they are wondereful insights into the past.
And, fwiw, I managed to finally get hold of a poster from the Imp at Nelson via Omega Auctions not the Beatles nor the Stones, sadly, but Billy Fury. Chuffed to bits though, I'll just have to get my name down on the waiting list for a replacement arm and leg...
