EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden era of British Railways, specifically between 1948 and 1965. Produced by the Western Region of British Railways, this poster aimed to entice travelers to visit the picturesque town of Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire. Known as the birthplace of one of history's greatest playwrights, William Shakespeare, this charming destination is beautifully depicted in this artwork. The focal point of the poster is a striking statue of Shakespeare himself, standing proudly against a backdrop that showcases a typical Tudor timber-framed house. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but has managed to capture both the essence and allure of Stratford-upon-Avon perfectly. Measuring at an impressive 1015 mm x 635 mm, this print transports viewers into a world where rail travel was not only efficient but also filled with cultural significance. It serves as a reminder that during these years, British Railways played an integral role in promoting tourism across various regions.
