Published by the Travel Association of Great Britain and N.Ireland this beautiful photographic image encouraged travel to Norwich and the United Kingdom more generally. This poster was part of a broader series released in 1947/48 by the British Travel Association to coincide with the 1948 Olympic Games in London in an effort to bring international tourism back to the United Kingdom after the Second World War.

John Dixon Scott (1890–1977) was a British photographer known for his extensive documentation of the British countryside, landscapes, and rural life. In the late 1920s, Scott became concerned at the way the rural and urban environment of Britain was changing. As a result, he decided to drive around the country with his camera, intending to preserve through his pictures what he saw as a vanishing landscape. This project occupied him for the rest of his career, resulting in images including the photograph pictured.

Condition: Generally excellent, the odd minor handling mark.
