EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the golden era of British Railways, specifically between 1948 and 1965. The poster, skillfully crafted by renowned artist Kenneth Steel, was designed to entice travelers to explore the picturesque county of Cambridgeshire. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of rural England, showcasing a tranquil scene that is both idyllic and inviting. Nestled amidst rolling green hills are charming windmills, quaint cottages, and sleepy villages that seem untouched by modernity. It's as if time has stood still in this enchanting corner of Cambridgeshire. British Railways sought to highlight the region's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage through this evocative poster. The railway tracks depicted symbolize not only a means of transportation but also a gateway to discover hidden gems within Cambridgeshire. As we gaze upon this vintage print from the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we can't help but be transported back in time – imagining ourselves embarking on an unforgettable journey through these scenic landscapes aboard one of British Railways' trains.
