Reg Carter’s series of illustrations celebrating the Southwold Railway and the Southwold Express.
Reginald Arthur Lay Carter (1886-1949) was a British cartoonist, perhaps best known as the creator of the cartoon ostrich "Big Eggo" that appeared on the front cover of the first Beano. He worked for the Beano drawing Big Eggo and other strips until his death in 1949.
Carter was also famous for two sets of humorous postcards entitled Sorrows of Southwold. These affectionately caricatured the three foot gauge Southwold Railway, which was noted for its idiosyncratic locomotives, carriages and leisurely mode of operation.
