EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1987 takes us back in time to Gatwick Airport, where the worlds of trains and planes seamlessly converge. Produced by British Railways (BR) for Network SouthEast, this vintage poster was designed to promote the convenient rail links to Gatwick Airport in West Sussex. The picturesque countryside serves as a stunning backdrop as a train gracefully traverses through it, while an elegant passenger aircraft soars majestically in the distant sky. The composition of this image beautifully captures the harmonious coexistence of two modes of transportation that connect people across vast distances. It symbolizes the seamless transition between land and air travel, highlighting Gatwick Airport's accessibility and convenience for passengers seeking efficient connections. Printed with meticulous attention to detail by Jubilee Screen in England, this poster exudes nostalgia and evokes a sense of adventure associated with travel during that era. It transports viewers back to a time when airports were gateways filled with excitement and anticipation. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also represents an important piece of transportation history. It reminds us how railways have played an integral role in connecting people to their desired destinations throughout generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with exploration and our ongoing quest for connection – both physically and emotionally – through various means of transport.
