British Canals Metal Wall Sign, transport in Industrial Revolution Britain.
Created by artist Kevin Walsh, this beautiful British Waterways sign, captures the romantic scene of a glorious Shire Horse pulling a canal barge. The Handler guides the gentle giant as they pull the heavy barge along the towpath. Ably assisted by his young son, his little girl hitches a ride, whilst his faithful terrier leads the way. This Canal wall art sports a distressed effect for an authentic vintage transport sign vibe. A beautiful, nostalgic work of art, perfect for the hallway, lounge, dinning room, office or themed bar.
