EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1960s, showcasing a remarkable Glasgow Electric locomotive service bound for Helensburgh. Created by the talented artist Terence Cuneo, this poster was produced for British Railways' Scottish Region and exudes a sense of nostalgia and elegance. Terence Cuneo, known for his exceptional artistic skills, received training at prestigious institutions such as the Slade and Chelsea schools of art in London. From the 1940s onwards, he became renowned for his commissioned artwork featured on railway posters. However, Cuneo's talent extended far beyond railways; he also excelled in painting portraits as well as ceremonial and military subjects. Printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd in both London and Dunstable, this print captures not only the beauty of Glasgow's electric locomotives but also pays homage to an era when rail travel was at its peak. The attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke - from the intricate design of the locomotive itself to the stunning backdrop that showcases Scotland's picturesque landscapes. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us through time while preserving moments that are etched into our collective memory. This print from NRM/Cuneo Fine Arts is truly a treasure that allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind it and the rich history it represents.
