LMS Le Meilleur Service - Virac
(72cm x 106cm)
The "best service" in the United Kingdom is without a doubt delivered by the London Midland & Scottish Railway. By likening their trains to the speed of a running goddess, this poster exemplifies the swiftness and efficiency of the British LMS railway line. This LMS poster features bold Futurist design, created with French text. Its message is aimed at the French market, encouraging use of the British railway system.
Raymond Virac (1892-1946) was a French Impressionist & Modern artist who studied at the Académie Julian and the École des Beaux Arts de Paris. His work took him to Vietnam, where he won the Prix d'Indochine in 1927, and Madagascar, where he received the Prix de Madagascar in 1939.

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
