Cassandre's Best Way

A. M. Cassandre's powerful L. M. S. Best Way poster design was published in a very limited edition of fifty and was apparently never used to publicize the British railway line. It's a shame because it's a stunning design that against all odds managed to make its way into the history  of graphic design. This initialed and numbered poster sold yesterday for an absolutely astounding $130,000!
