A VINTAGE railway poster advertising Malvern as a tourist attraction fetched nearly £500 at a London auction.
The 30ins by 50ins poster was produced in 1925, for the Great Western Railway by artist Graham Petrie, a member of the Royal Institute.
It was bought by a private collector for £478 at Christie's on Friday.
The poster was a lithograph of a painting of the Malvern Hills and one of a number which would have been displayed on platforms across the country.
"It was a very busy sale and there was fierce interest in that particular poster. It sold for exactly what we expected despite being damaged," said Sophie North, a Christie's specialist in vintage posters.
The item was one of 344 vintage travel posters which went under the hammer at Friday's auction, fetching a total of £240,930.
