Produced for the Metropolitan Railway (MR) between 1923 and 1947, this poster aimed to promote rail travel to the East End and various destinations along the Thames in East London. The artwork, skillfully created by P J Wright, showcases a typical day at the docks with a crane gracefully lifting a crate onto a ship. In the foreground, we see hardworking dock workers going about their daily tasks, adding an authentic touch to this vibrant depiction. The dimensions of this remarkable piece measure 1016 mm x 1270 mm, making it an impressive addition to any collection or display. As part of the NRM/Pictorial Collection from National Railway Museum, this print offers a glimpse into London's rich industrial history and highlights its significant role as a shipping hub. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, this poster not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insight into how rail travel was promoted during that era. It is truly fascinating how such imagery can transport us back in time and evoke feelings of nostalgia for those who remember these scenes firsthand or spark curiosity among younger generations eager to learn about our past.
