Complete copies of the collection are extremely hard to find but are highly sought after. At the time of listing 2021, a copy, of the magnificent production, housed in the publisher’s custom-made cloth solander slipcase was available for purchase through the AbeBooks website with an asking price of US$ 2,186.36.

The poster listed here is not an original print, it is a reproduction of one of the 12 posters in the collection known as Centenary of the Orient Express.

Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as a fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.

The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £12. So you can bag a print and frame for a great price.
