EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage print captures the essence of Cornwall's natural beauty and rich history. The 1897 GWR poster, created by Walford & Co Ltd in London, showcases a watercolour illustration of St Michaels Mount in Mounts Bay near Marazion. This picturesque scene is bathed in warm sunlight, with the mount rising majestically from the sparkling blue waters. The Great Western Railway (GWR) used this enchanting image to promote tourist tickets and weekly excursions on their express and corridor trains to Cornwall. It was an invitation for travelers to immerse themselves in the charm of this idyllic coastal region. St Michaels Mount itself is a true marvel - a rocky island crowned by an ancient castle and steeped in centuries-old legends. As you gaze at this print, you can almost feel the sense of tranquility that permeates its surroundings. Cornwall's allure lies not only in its breathtaking landscapes but also in its fascinating history. With castles dotting the coastline and monasteries nestled amidst rolling hills, it offers visitors a glimpse into a bygone era. This print from National Railway Museum transports us back to a time when train travel was synonymous with adventure and discovery. It serves as both a nostalgic reminder of yesteryears' elegance and an inspiration for modern-day explorers seeking hidden gems like St Michaels Mount.
