London LMS Trooping The Colour
Original vintage poster issued by LMS London Midland Scottish railway featuring artwork by the painter and poster artist Christopher Clark (1875-1942) with the title - London by LMS Trooping the Colour Whitehall - below the ceremonial scene depicting Royal Guards in uniform on their horses with the mounted Band of the Household Cavalry playing music on their instruments in the foreground and flags flying on the historic building in the distance. The annual tradition of Trooping the Colour dates back to before the 17th century; since 1748 the ceremony has been held to mark the official birthday of the British sovereign in June. Horse Guards Parade is located next to St James' Park and Whitehall in central London; jousting and other tournaments have regularly been held on the site since the time of Henry VIII (1491-1547); the area is now used for this annual parade and other ceremonies. Large size. Horizontal. Good condition, restored tears, restored paper losses, minor staining, backed on linen, small hole on image straight through the linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
