EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1935, when York celebrated a momentous occasion - the centenary of its local government. The poster, created by renowned artist Fred Taylor for the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), serves as a vibrant invitation to explore the wonders of this historic city in Yorkshire. The artwork showcases an impressive procession of aldermen and other officials parading outside the magnificent York Minster. This grand cathedral stands proudly in the background, symbolizing both religious heritage and civic pride. The image captures a sense of unity and commemoration as these figures honor their city's rich history. Fred Taylor's talent shines through in this piece, reflecting his expertise not only as a painter but also as a muralist and designer. Having worked on notable projects such as ceiling paintings for Lloyds' Underwriting Room and murals for Reeds Lacquer Room, Taylor was highly regarded within artistic circles during his time. Displayed at prestigious venues like the Royal Academy, his work extended beyond traditional art spaces. He collaborated with organizations including the Empire Marketing Board, LNER, London Transport, and various shipping companies. Preserved by NRM/Pictorial Collection at National Railway Museum, this print offers us a glimpse into an era where rail travel was promoted with stunning visuals that captured both historical significance and artistic excellence.
