EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Suspension and Alteration of Isle of Wight" takes us back to the year 1937, when the Southern Railway (SR) produced a vibrant colour poster to inform its customers about changes in steamboat services for the Naval Review. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Charles Shepherd, also known as Shep. Born in 1892, Shepherd's talent shines through in his ability to capture the essence of this momentous occasion. In this image, we are transported to the Royal Isle of Wight Navy as it prepares for an eventful day. The poster showcases a bustling scene with steamboats gracefully sailing across pristine waters towards their destination. The vivid colours used by Shepherd evoke a sense of excitement and anticipation among viewers. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we can almost feel the energy emanating from each brushstroke. It serves as a reminder that even during times of change and alteration, there is still beauty to be found. This print not only informs but also inspires individuals to embrace transformation while cherishing traditions. Preserved by the National Railway Museum (NRM), this print allows us to appreciate both historical significance and artistic brilliance simultaneously. It stands as a testament to Shep's remarkable talent and serves as a window into an era long gone but not forgotten – where steamboats ruled the waves and naval reviews were grand spectacles worth celebrating.
