EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Giants Refreshed" takes us back to the golden era of steam locomotives, capturing a moment in time when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) was at its peak. The poster, produced between 1923 and 1948 for LNER, showcases the magnificent Pacifics in all their glory within the iconic LNER Locomotive Works in Doncaster. The artwork by Terence Cuneo, a renowned artist of his time, beautifully captures the grandeur and power of these steam giants. With meticulous attention to detail, Cuneo brings life to every element of this scene - from the billowing smoke rising into the sky to the intricate architecture of Doncaster's engine sheds. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where steam trains ruled supreme. The sheer size and strength of these locomotives is awe-inspiring; they truly were giants on rails. This print serves as a reminder not only of their physical presence but also their significance in connecting people across vast distances during a time when rail travel was paramount. Preserved by NRM/Cuneo Fine Arts, this print allows us to appreciate both historical importance and artistic brilliance. It stands as a testament to Cuneo's talent for capturing motion and energy through his brushstrokes while immortalizing an important chapter in railway history.
