Sherwood Forester A member of the iconic London Midland & Scottish Railway’s Black 5 Class, The Sherwood Forester is a shining example of the workhorses of Britain’s railways from the 1930s all the way to the end of steam . . .
David Weston (19352011) was a British industrial artist and author. ~ Weston made a living painting railway and industrial subjects. He was introduced to the subject by John Scholes of the Clapham Museum and later the British Transport Museum. In the early 1970s he was commissioned to paint The Great Train Robbery Board Game Box by the Games inventor Bruce Barrymore Halpenny. In the mid 1970s he was commissioned to paint a series of 24 large canvasses by Sir William McAlpine, on the history of the British steam locomotive. The project took three and a half years to complete, and was launched in 1977 at the Royal Exchange in London. The event was televised and attended by the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who later invited Weston and McAlpine to meet with him at Buckingham Palace. Weston became known as “the Railway Artist” in the 1980s after some of his paintings were accepted by the London Transport Museum. He was the subject of two television documentaries, including Beware of Trains which was broadcast in 1981.
Condition:Very Good condition This is still in the original plastic wrap on a cardboard piece as it was purchased. ~ I would probably choose to take the plastic and cardboard off for packing and shipping in a tube . . . if you prefer to have it shipped as is flat, just let me know.
