EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable poster that once adorned the walls of train stations across England during the years 1923-1947. Created in collaboration between two iconic railway companies, the Great Western Railway and the London Midland & Scottish Railway, this joint effort aimed to promote travel to Hereford Cathedral. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Claude Buckle, transports viewers into a world where architectural marvels intertwine with medieval grandeur. The focal point is undoubtedly Hereford Cathedral's majestic arches, which dominate the composition with their intricate design and timeless beauty. As one gazes upon this stunning image, it becomes evident that Buckle masterfully captured not only the physicality of these ancient structures but also their spiritual essence. The play of light and shadow within the cathedral's interiors creates an ethereal atmosphere that evokes a sense of reverence and tranquility. It is fascinating to contemplate how this poster would have enticed travelers back in its heyday – promising them an unforgettable journey through time as they embarked on a pilgrimage to witness such awe-inspiring architecture firsthand. Preserved by the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as both a testament to Britain's rich railway history and an enduring tribute to Claude Buckle's artistic talent. It invites us all to appreciate not just trains' utilitarian purpose but also their ability to transport us into realms where artistry meets exploration.
