"The Fellows Morton & Clayton Depot at Leicester" painted by D.C. Miller.
The original oil painting "The Fellows Morton & Clayton Depot at Leicester" was painted by D.C. Miller. It was commissioned by Nicholas Bostock who, along with Malcolm Braine, were responsible for putting President back into steam when it was bought in 1973.
'To help in the fund raising, 'Friends of President' was given permission to have a limited edition print made from the painting. 250 prints are signed and numbered by the artist, with a further 375 prints available neither signed nor numbered. The print is approximately 15¼" x 11" ( 388 x 280 mm )
