EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the idyllic setting of Boulters Lock in 1936, a snapshot of British history frozen in time. Part of the iconic "Sights of Britain" series, this cigarette card was issued with Senior Service, Junior Member, and Illingworth cigarettes during the mid-20th century. The image showcases the lock gates standing proudly against a backdrop of serene waters and lush landscapes. The exterior scene captures the essence of England's countryside charm, transporting viewers to a simpler era where water transport played an essential role in daily life. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are drawn to the steps leading down from outside towards the tow path. These steps symbolize not only physical access but also serve as a metaphorical invitation for us to step into this bygone world filled with tranquility and beauty. Located in Berkshire's picturesque Maidenhead region, Boulters Lock stands as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate generations even today. Preserved by The Print Collector, this remarkable piece remains an invaluable historical artifact that allows us to reflect on our rich heritage while appreciating the artistry captured within its frame. Let it serve as a reminder that sometimes stepping back into history can be just as enchanting as moving forward into the future.
