EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the golden era of British Railways, specifically between 1948 and 1965. Produced as a promotional poster for British Rail (BR), it aims to entice travelers to explore the wonders of London, a city steeped in history and easily accessible by train. The poster showcases an exquisite aerial map of the capital, meticulously detailing its iconic landmarks that have come to define this magnificent metropolis. What truly sets this artwork apart is the inclusion of shields representing each borough surrounding the border, symbolizing unity and diversity within London's vibrant communities. As our eyes wander along the bottom edge of the print, we are greeted with a royal procession, adding an air of regality and grandeur to this visual masterpiece. Although created by an unknown artist, their talent shines through every stroke and detail captured within this piece. It serves as a testament not only to their artistic prowess but also to their ability to capture London's essence in one stunning image. Preserved by the National Railway Museum, this print offers us a glimpse into both Britain's rich railway heritage and its deep connection with one of its most beloved cities. It invites us on a journey through time while igniting our curiosity about exploring London's historic treasures – all made possible by hopping aboard those reliable trains that once crisscrossed these lands.
