EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the British Empire Exhibition held in Wembley, London in 1925. Created by V Hicks and Charles Shep Shepherd, this poster was commissioned by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote their rail services to this grand event. The focal point of the artwork is a proud guardsman playing the trombone with utmost passion. Dressed impeccably in his iconic red uniform and tall bearskin hat, he stands tall against a vibrant background that exudes energy and excitement. Above him, bold letters spell out "Music Wherever You Go" emphasizing how music can transport you to different worlds. V Hicks and Charles Shep Shepherd were both accomplished artists who studied under renowned artist Paul Woodroffe. As head of the studio at Baynard Press, Shepherd's talent for designing eye-catching posters extended beyond LNER; he also created stunning artworks for Royal Mail Packet Steam Company and London Transport. This print not only serves as a nostalgic reminder of a significant exhibition but also showcases the power of artistry in capturing attention and promoting cultural events. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, it allows us to appreciate how railway companies played an integral role in connecting people from all corners of the British Empire during this era.
