EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London's Trafalgar Square during the mid-20th century. The British Railways (LMR) poster, created by talented artist Claude Buckle between 1948 and 1965, beautifully captures the essence of this iconic location. In the foreground, we are greeted by Nelson's Column standing tall and proud, a symbol of Admiral Horatio Nelson's heroic legacy. Flanking it on either side are majestic statues that add an air of grandeur to the scene. The National Gallery forms an impressive backdrop, its magnificent architecture drawing our attention towards its artistic treasures within. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from yesteryears, we notice vintage buses and cars gracefully navigating through the square, reminding us of a simpler era when these vehicles ruled the roads. The composition is expertly crafted with vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail – a testament to Buckle's skill as both an artist and graphic designer. This poster serves not only as a nostalgic reminder of London's rich history but also as a celebration of railway travel during that period. Preserved within the NRM/Pictorial Collection at the National Railway Museum, this print offers viewers a glimpse into London's past while igniting their imagination with thoughts of exploration and adventure that awaited those who embarked on rail journeys across Britain.
