EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a timeless piece of art that once adorned the walls of train stations, enticing travelers to embark on an unforgettable journey to Edinburgh. Created between 1923 and 1947, this poster was designed by an unknown artist for the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) and London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS). The image captures a breathtaking view of Edinburgh Castle from Princes Street, perfectly encapsulating the city's allure. Measuring at an impressive 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this poster transports us back in time when rail travel was not just a means of transportation but also an experience filled with wonder and excitement. The attention to detail is evident as the city's arms are elegantly displayed in a shield at the bottom, symbolizing Edinburgh's rich history and heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we can almost imagine ourselves standing on Princes Street, marveling at the majestic castle perched atop its rocky hill. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to every element - from the bustling streets below to the grandeur of Edinburgh Castle itself. While it remains unclear who crafted this masterpiece, one thing is certain: it serves as a testament to both artistic talent and railway advertising ingenuity. This print allows us to appreciate not only Scotland's capital city but also how rail travel has been celebrated throughout history.
