EDINBURGH
.- For the many keen skiers who make an annual pilgrimage to the Alps in the winter months this season promises to be something of a disappointment. Relatively few will be travelling to the slopes while travel restrictions continue.
However, one way to get something of the skiing hit in the New Year is to peruse The Ski Sale to be held by international auctioneers Lyon & Turnbull on January 20. The sale features a fine selection of original lithographed posters focused on winter sports and travel curated by former Christies vintage poster specialists Nicolette Tomkinson and Sophie Churcher. The pair first teamed up with Lyon & Turnbull to launch dedicated poster sales in 2018.
