EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable LNER poster from 1930, created by the talented artist Fred Taylor. The poster was specifically designed to entice travelers to explore the enchanting city of Durham and its historic cathedral. Known for his exceptional artistic skills, Taylor was commissioned to create four ceiling paintings for the prestigious Underwriting Room at Lloyds, as well as stunning murals for Reeds Lacquer Room. With an impressive exhibition record at esteemed institutions like the Royal Academy and various London galleries, Taylor's expertise extended beyond traditional art forms.

The image captures the essence of Durham Cathedral in all its medieval glory. Its towering spires reach towards the heavens while intricate architectural details adorn every corner. This masterpiece serves not only as a visual delight but also as a testament to Taylor's ability to transport viewers into another era through his artwork. Preserved within this print is a piece of history that invites us to appreciate both Durham's rich heritage and Taylor's extraordinary talent. It stands as a reminder of how rail travel has long been intertwined with promoting cultural exploration and appreciation across Britain.
