EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1961, when British Railways' Southern Region unveiled a promotional poster for Chessington Zoo in Surrey. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Bromfield, showcases the allure of this popular attraction and highlights the enticing offer of a 20% discount on combined train and admission tickets. Transporting us to an era where railway journeys were not only practical but also filled with excitement and adventure, this poster captures the essence of a bygone time. It reminds us of how British Railways played an integral role in connecting people to various leisure destinations across the country. The image itself is vibrant and inviting, depicting a scene that would surely entice any potential visitor. With its lush greenery and exotic animals peeking through foliage, it conveys both the natural beauty of Chessington Zoo's surroundings and its diverse wildlife collection. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we are reminded of our timeless fascination with zoos as places where nature meets entertainment. This photograph serves as a testament to British Railways' commitment to promoting such attractions while providing convenient travel options for all who sought them. Intriguingly nostalgic yet undeniably relevant even today, this print invites us to appreciate both the artistic prowess behind it and the enduring appeal of Chessington Zoo as one of Surrey's cherished treasures.
