V. Prints and posters

Merrill wrote that he obtained approximately 90% of these posters before 1950 (letter dated Feb. 13, 2007, in collection file). All items were treated by the Conservation Department and have been flattened and sleeved in mylar. There are three very large lithographic posters, over 50 inches wide, for the London and North Eastern Railway, 1930s (646607_43, 646607_44, 646607_45), which are stored separately. At the end of the list are a small group of promotional prints for manufacturers, and two drawings and a photograph regarding early streamline inventions.
