EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of 1957, where British Railways (BR) sought to entice travelers with their rail services to the picturesque town of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent. The poster, skillfully crafted by the talented artist Alan Durman, exudes a sense of timeless elegance and charm. As we delve into this piece of art, our eyes are immediately drawn to the vibrant colors that adorn the scene. The lush greenery surrounding Royal Tunbridge Wells is beautifully depicted, inviting us to explore its natural wonders. Nestled within this idyllic landscape is a quaint railway station adorned with signs showcasing the heraldry and history of this remarkable town. The attention to detail in Durman's artwork is truly commendable. Every stroke seems purposeful and deliberate, capturing not only the essence of Royal Tunbridge Wells but also evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era when rail travel was at its peak. This print from National Railway Museum serves as a window into a bygone era—a time when British Railways were at their zenith and destinations like Royal Tunbridge Wells held an irresistible allure for travelers seeking respite from bustling city life. In preserving this piece of history, we are reminded not only of the importance railways once held in connecting communities but also how art played an integral role in promoting these journeys.
