Frances Darlington
- ... that although sculptor Frances Darlington was known for her painted relief panels, she also designed a railway poster?
- Source: "(An Ilkley Borough Council committee was formed) ... to bring before the public the advantage of Ilkley, and in answer to an advertisement for designs in posters to be placed at various stations on the different railways, some thirty or more competed for same in colour. (After consideration) they awarded the first prize to Miss Frances Darlington, of Ilkley" - plus loads of sources in the article for her being a sculptor.

- New article, well written and high quality (likely suitable for a GA nomination). No copyvio issues found. Hook is interesting, cited in the article, and of appropriate length. My one concern is the licensing of the image. Without the photographer's identity and thus death date, and without proof that it was first published prior to 1929, the claimed license is not valid. PD-old-assumed would be valid given that the image is >120 years old, but an appropriate US copyright tag would still be needed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:10, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- I have done some further research and updated the licence. Storye book (talk) 09:13, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
