Buxton Poster

It is hard to imagine from these reproductions how big these posters are, but think one and a half metres square and you'll get the idea. This reproduction is taken from the Bridgeman Art Library. It will have been sold at a poster sale in recent years, so some lucky person has it hanging on their wall, or more than one person – originally hundreds of these posters were printed, their rarity value is because so few unspoilt copies have survived. The poster dealers eg Leslie Sherlock and Paul Rennie will search for a particular poster and they have a good success rate: we asked Leslie to find a copy of the Shell poster which we used on the front of the Classic edition of Miss Pettigrew and he managed it.
