EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from the 1940s, capturing the essence and grandeur of Ely Cathedral. The London & North Eastern Railway poster, skillfully crafted by Gwen Raverat, presents a mesmerizing woodcut view that transports viewers to this iconic religious landmark. As one gazes at the image, their eyes are drawn towards the cathedral's towering spires majestically piercing through the sky. The intricate details of each roof and tower are meticulously depicted, showcasing Raverat's exceptional talent as an artist. It is evident that every stroke was carefully placed to convey not only architectural precision but also a sense of awe-inspiring beauty. Ely Cathedral itself stands as a testament to centuries of Christian heritage and devotion. Its rich history dates back over 1,000 years, with its construction commencing in 1083. This magnificent structure has witnessed countless moments of worship and contemplation throughout its existence. The print serves as more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates the significance and reverence associated with Ely Cathedral. It invites us to reflect upon our own spirituality while marveling at the craftsmanship that went into creating such an extraordinary place of worship. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this image allows us to appreciate both Raverat's artistic brilliance and Ely Cathedral’s enduring presence in British culture.
