EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling Southampton Docks in 1933, where a Southern Railway poster proudly showcases the magnificent King George V Graving Dock. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Donald Maxwell, captures the essence of this historic location with its rich maritime heritage. Maxwell's artistic prowess shines through as he expertly depicts the grandeur of the dock and its surroundings. Having studied at the prestigious Slade School of Fine Art, his attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. Notably, during World War I, Maxwell served as an official artist to the Admiralty, further enhancing his understanding of naval architecture and design. The significance of this poster extends beyond mere aesthetics. It serves as a testament to Maxwell's illustrious career and his association with esteemed figures such as Prince Edward (later known as King Edward VIII) during his tour of India.
