EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the golden age of rail travel, specifically promoting Cornwall as a must-visit destination. The poster, produced for the Great Western Railway (GWR) between 1923 and 1947, entices travelers from Paddington Station in London to embark on an unforgettable journey to this picturesque county. The artwork by Frank Newbould showcases the breathtaking beauty of Cornwall's coastline. Majestic cliffs rise high above the sea, creating a dramatic backdrop that is both awe-inspiring and inviting. A small fishing village nestled at the foot of these cliffs exudes charm and tranquility, while a bustling harbor hints at a vibrant maritime culture. Newbould's skillful use of colors brings this scene to life; shades of blue capture the essence of seaside serenity, while warm hues highlight quaint cottages dotting the landscape. It is no wonder that Newbould was renowned for his contributions to English poster design and claimed to have started a landscape school within this genre. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by NRM/Pictorial Collection from National Railway Museum, we are transported not only through space but also through time. We can almost hear the sound of crashing waves and feel the salty breeze on our faces as we imagine embarking on an adventure along Cornwall's rugged coastlines or exploring its charming fishing villages. This print serves as an exquisite reminder that even today, Cornwall continues to captivate visitors with its timeless allure.
