EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At Kings Cross, We call this the Throat. . . BR poster, 1977" takes us back in time to an era of British Rail track modernisation. Produced as a forewarning for passengers about disruptions to services, this poster captures the essence of Kings Cross Station's iconic tunnel known as The Throat. The image showcases the station from the mouth of this tunnel, providing a unique perspective that transports viewers into the heart of bustling railway operations. With its monochrome aesthetic, it exudes a sense of nostalgia and historical significance. The title itself evokes curiosity and intrigue - what exactly is "the throat"? It hints at both the physical location within Kings Cross Station and metaphorically represents the challenges faced during track modernisation. This clever play on words adds depth to an already visually striking composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can almost hear the echoes of trains passing through The Throat. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes with temporary inconveniences; in this case, it would take nine weeks to clear these disruptions. Preserved by National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only documents an important chapter in British Rail history but also invites us to appreciate the beauty found within industrial landscapes.
