A group of railway posters, found in a cellar and almost discarded by their owner, sold for more than £5000 at the House and Garden sale at Mallams in Abingdon, writes Roland Arkell.
The cache in the auction on March 18-19 comprised seven original London, Midland & Scottish Railway Company lithographic posters that had survived in remarkably good condition, some wrapped in their original posting paper complete with LMS labels.
