EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an original oil painting by the talented artist Leonard Cusden, commissioned by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1932. The artwork was created to promote the shortest sea route between Fishguard and Rosslare, which served as a vital link to Southern Ireland. The poster exudes a sense of adventure and wanderlust, inviting travelers to embark on a remarkable journey through the stunning Irish landscapes. Cusden's masterful brushstrokes beautifully capture the essence of this picturesque route, enticing viewers with rolling green hills, rugged coastlines, and charming villages along the way. Known for his exceptional talent in creating railway posters, Cusden's expertise extended beyond GWR; he also designed artworks for London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) and British Railways (BR). His ability to evoke emotion through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail is evident in this piece. As we gaze upon this magnificent print from the National Railway Museum collection, we are transported back in time when rail travel was not just about reaching your destination but also about immersing yourself in unforgettable experiences.
