EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print takes us back in time to the serene beauty of High Tor, Matlock, nestled within the picturesque Derbyshire Peaks. Dating back to the early 1910s, this Midland Railway poster was printed in French, adding an air of international allure to its already enchanting artwork by Clement Aunston. The focal point of this scene is undoubtedly High Tor itself, a towering limestone cliff that stands majestically against the backdrop of rolling hills and verdant countryside. The artist has skillfully captured the essence of this rural landscape with his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant brushstrokes. As our gaze wanders through this idyllic setting, we are transported into a world where steam locomotives chug along leisurely amidst rivers and waterways that meander gracefully through the land. This image evokes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia for a simpler era when leisure tourism was just beginning to flourish. It's not hard to imagine how these stunning landscapes would have enticed travelers from near and far to embark on an adventure through nature's splendor. Maps may have been consulted as visitors planned their journeys across these breathtaking terrains. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as both a testament to British railway history and an exquisite piece of art that continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm.
