Culzean Castle Eisenhower British Railways
Original vintage British Railways poster for Culzean Castle on the Ayrshire Coast President Eisenhower's Scottish Home See Scotland by Train featuring a great painting of the historic Culzean Castle overlooking the Firth of Clyde on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland sitting majestically on a grassy cliff edge with people walking on the sandy beach below and clouds above in the blue sky and the information text below with the British Railways logo: Information from principal travel agents or British Railways Offices, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Toronto. Culzean Castle was rebuilt in 1777 and 1792 by the Scottish peer David Kennedy the 10th Earl of Cassilis (c.1734-1792); on his death, the castle was inherited by his cousin Archibald Kennedy who lived in New York; in 1946 the Kennedy family gave the castle to the National Trust of Scotland to avoid inheritance tax with an apartment given to the Army General (and later President of the United States) Dwight D. Eisenhower (Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower; 1890-1969). Published for the American tourists for display in the USA. Printed by Jarrold & Sons Ltd Norwich. Good condition, staining on edges, restored tears, backed on 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.
