Excellent analysis and comment. I think the artists had to be even more skilled and talented given their limiited resources.

Walking in North East Snowdonia: a quiet little jewel
You have a rich history if you can see remnants of Romans' presence, albeit it was not a pleasant occupation by an army. Yet it did contribute to what has become of Britain, as did every other influence over many years.

Frank oh WOW , it would be wonderful if it were based on the Lusitania or indeed the ship itself. Thank you. Very observant.
There is more in these posters than we care to notice.
