EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 1930s, when the London & North Eastern Railway produced this stunning poster showcasing Ipswich, Suffolk. The focal point of this artwork is none other than Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, a prominent figure who was born in Ipswich and later rose to become Lord Chancellor and Chaplain to King Henry VIII. The poster depicts Cardinal Wolsey seated gracefully in an ornate chair, engrossed in his reading. Behind him hangs a magnificent tapestry that adds depth and richness to the composition. Every detail has been meticulously captured by Vincent Brooks, Day & Sons Ltd. , a renowned printing company based in London WC2. Cardinal Wolsey's connection with Ipswich is beautifully highlighted through this artwork. It serves as a reminder of his significant contributions not only as a spiritual leader but also as one of England's most influential Lord Chancellors during the reign of King Henry VIII. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we are transported back to an era where artistry met history. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty of Ipswich and its notable historical figures like Cardinal Thomas Wolsey – forever immortalized on this timeless piece of art.
