Produced for the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) between 1923 and 1947, this poster showcases a remarkable artwork by W P Wollen. The image depicts a group of Roman cavalrymen on horseback, gallantly riding along Hadrian's Wall, also known as The Roman Wall.

Originally spanning an impressive distance of 73 miles from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend in Northumberland, it has become one of the most iconic frontiers associated with the ancient empire. The artist skillfully captures both the grandeur of these mounted soldiers and the imposing presence of Hadrian's Wall behind them.
