Original Travel Poster Come To Britain For Racing By Lionel Edwards.
A striking horse racing poster by Lionel Edwards entitled 'Come to Britain for Racing'.

The poster is a beautiful and colourful illustration, it is in good condition with no visible folding creases. This original vintage horse racing poster features an image of jockeys on their horses warming up before the start of the race. Spectators are lining both sides of the racetrack and a crowded grandstand can be seen in the distance.
