EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting beauty of Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire during the 1920s. The London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) commissioned this stunning poster as part of their efforts to promote rail travel to this picturesque destination. The artwork, skillfully created by Fred Taylor, captures the medieval ruins of Fountains Abbey with remarkable detail and precision. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn towards the seventeenth-century Fountains Hall standing proudly in the foreground, adding a touch of grandeur to an already breathtaking scene. Fred Taylor's artistic talent was not limited to railway posters alone; he also left his mark on other notable projects such as designing ceiling paintings for Lloyds' Underwriting Room and murals for Reeds Lacquer Room. His work was highly regarded and exhibited at prestigious venues like the Royal Academy and various London galleries. It is fascinating to learn that Taylor collaborated with not only LNER but also London Transport and several shipping companies throughout his career. This speaks volumes about his versatility as an artist and his ability to capture different aspects of British life through his creations. As we admire this print from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we can't help but be captivated by its timeless charm, transporting us back in time while igniting our wanderlust for exploring historic sites like Fountains Abbey.
