This is a 1968 National Parks poster of the Snowdonia National Park showing the north and west coasts of Caernarfonshire, Denbighshire and Merioneth in Wales and is a place of outstanding natural beauty. This was prepared by the National Parks Commission by the Central Office of Information.
Dimensions: 30 in x 20 in (77 cm x 51 cm)
Condition: there is some foxing to the top and tape marks in the corners.
The English name for the area derives from Snowdon, which is the highest mountain in Wales at 1,085 m. In Welsh, the area is named Eryri. A commonly held belief is that the name is derived from eryr ("eagle"), and thus means "the land of eagles".
Snowdonia National Park was established in 1951 as the third national park in Britain, following the Peak District and the Lake District. It covers 827 square miles, and has 37 miles of coastline. The Snowdonia National Park covers parts of the counties of Gwynedd and Conwy.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
