EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "London - Heart of the Empire" takes us back to 1939, showcasing a remarkable Great Western Railway poster. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Frank Newbould, transports us to an era where horses and soldiers were an integral part of London's vibrant landscape. In this picturesque scene, we witness the iconic Horse Guards Parade in all its grandeur. Majestic horses stand tall as they are guided by their gallant riders dressed in military regalia. Their swords glisten under the sunlight, reflecting a sense of strength and honor. Amidst this display of military prowess, we see tourists and locals alike marveling at the spectacle before them. Men from different walks of life gather around, captivated by the sight unfolding before their eyes. It is a reminder that London has always been a hub for both history and tourism. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when railways played a crucial role in connecting people with such magnificent sights across the country. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a testament to our rich heritage and reminds us how transportation has shaped our understanding of culture and identity over time. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured by NRM/Pictorial Collection, it invites us to reflect on London's enduring legacy as the heart of an empire while celebrating its timeless allure through artistry and history combined.
