EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "By Train to London, 1960" takes us back in time to the vibrant era of British Railways. The poster, created by Studio Seven for the Southern Region of British Railways, beautifully captures the essence of travel and adventure. In this artwork, a Grenadier Guardsman proudly dons his iconic bearskin hat while showcasing day return prices on his busby. The juxtaposition between military tradition and modern transportation creates an intriguing visual narrative that speaks volumes about the evolving nature of travel during that period. The image transports us to bustling train stations filled with anticipation and excitement as travelers embark on their journey to London. It serves as a reminder of how railways played a vital role in connecting people from all walks of life, allowing them to explore new horizons and experience the wonders of the capital city. Preserved by the National Railway Museum, this print not only celebrates British Railways but also pays homage to an era where artistry met functionality in advertising. It encapsulates a moment frozen in time when railway posters were more than just promotional tools; they were works of art that captured imaginations and inspired wanderlust. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the power railways held in shaping our history and culture – forever etching themselves into our collective memory as symbols of progress and unity.
