The artwork beautifully showcases a bustling street adorned with charming shops and houses, leading our gaze towards the magnificent silhouette of York Minster in the background. Claude Buckle's architectural background shines through his meticulous attention to detail, evident in every brushstroke that brings this scene to life. With a masterful command over both oil and watercolour mediums, Buckle effortlessly captures the essence of this historic city. Renowned for his prolific work with Great Western Railway (GWR) and BR, Claude Buckle's artistic talent has left an indelible mark on railway poster art. His ability to transport viewers into idyllic landscapes or iconic cityscapes is truly remarkable.
