EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling market town of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, during the mid-20th century. Produced as a promotional poster for British Railways (Eastern Region), it invites viewers to explore Britain by train and discover the charms of this picturesque location. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Edward Wesson, beautifully captures the essence of Hitchin. In the foreground, we are greeted with a vibrant outdoor market scene. Stalls filled with colorful produce and various goods create an atmosphere of liveliness and activity. Locals and visitors alike can be seen engaging in animated conversations while perusing through the offerings. The energy emanating from this lively marketplace is truly infectious. As our gaze moves towards the background, we are treated to a tranquil view that contrasts with the hustle and bustle below. A serene pond reflects both natural beauty and architectural splendor as it mirrors an elegant church standing tall against clear skies. Its spire reaches towards heaven, symbolizing faith deeply rooted within this close-knit community. Edward Wesson's artistic prowess shines through every brushstroke in this remarkable piece. His attention to detail brings each element to life – from intricate stall displays to delicate ripples on water surfaces – evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate Hitchin's rich heritage and inviting us on a journey through history via Britain's extensive railway network.
