More on A N Wolstenholme - railway artist

 Two excellent articles by Geoff Courtney in 'Heritage Railway' (March-April  2011 and August 2011) reveal more about A N Wolstenholme the artist whose pictures adorned many Ian Allan publications and BR posters from the 1940s onwards. Arthur Nigel Wolstenholme was born in January 1920 and died in June 2002 at the age of 82 in Watford where it is believed he had lived for at least 40 years and possibly for his entire life. He worked as a freelance technical and commercial artist and covered subjects beyond transport. Three ANW page vignettes in his distinctive scraper board style from the 1953 Trains Annual in this post.
