EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 1935, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) sought to entice travelers with the beauty of Durham. The poster, skillfully designed by artist Frank Newbould, showcases a picturesque scene that captures the essence of this cathedral city. In the foreground, two passengers are comfortably seated in a railway carriage, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. Through the window behind them, we catch a glimpse of Durham Castle and other town buildings bathed in sunlight. The view is nothing short of breathtaking; it beckons us to embark on an unforgettable journey. Newbould's artistic talent shines through in every detail of this composition. His use of vibrant colors and meticulous attention to architectural elements transport us into this idyllic setting. It is no wonder that his work was highly sought after not only by LNER but also by prestigious clients such as Orient Line and Belgian Railways. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we cannot help but feel drawn into its charm and allure. It serves as a reminder that rail travel has always been more than just transportation; it is an opportunity for discovery and adventure. This remarkable piece from NRM/Pictorial Collection allows us to relish in the nostalgia while appreciating the artistry that went into promoting destinations like Durham during a golden era of rail travel.
