EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage LNER poster, capturing the serene beauty of Kelso on the Banks of the Tweed. Created in 1941 by artist H Tittensor, this print was commissioned by the London & North Eastern Railway to entice travelers to explore the charming market town nestled in the Scottish Borders. The focal point of this picturesque scene is none other than Kelso Abbey, a historic gem founded way back in 1128. Its majestic ruins stand proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, evoking a sense of tranquility that only centuries-old architecture can provide. In the foreground, we are treated to an idyllic view of a stone bridge gracefully arching over the River Tweed. The river's gentle flow reflects sunlight like scattered diamonds, adding an ethereal touch to this already enchanting landscape. This carefully crafted artwork transports us to a simpler era when rail travel was not just about reaching destinations but also about experiencing new places and immersing oneself in their unique charm. Printed by Jordison & Co Ltd in London & Middlesborough, this poster captures both artistic excellence and historical significance. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply yearning for a nostalgic journey through Scotland's past, let this print transport you to Kelso on the Banks of the Tweed.
