British Three Sheet (41" x 79"); Country-of-Origin, Stone Lithograph ; The Collection of the Late J. Stephen Ryan
Very Fine+ on Linen
Fine Arts Films, 1949

A speeding passenger train is headed for disaster on this country-of-origin British three sheet from the comedy/drama produced by Ealing Studios. Printed on two panels, this dramatic poster is a stone lithograph and was in excellent condition. It was professionally linen backed with only very minor touch-up to just portions of the folds to address general wear and separation at the end of some folds.

"Train of Events" is a British Ealing Studios portmanteau film that examines a train disaster through four character-focused stories about its impact and aftermath. Directed by Sidney Cole, Charles Crichton, and Basil Dearden, it stars Jack Warner, Peter Finch, and Valerie Hobson, with Finch and Laurence Payne receiving "and introducing" credits. The production featured notable LMS locomotives, including engine No. 47327, which has since been preserved.

Estimate: $400 - 800
