EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time and immerse yourself in the literary world of Charles Dickens with this photo print. Produced by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote rail travel to the enchanting Norfolk coastal resort of Yarmouth, this poster transports you to a scene straight out of David Copperfield. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Austin Cooper, captures a pivotal moment from Dickens' beloved novel. In front of the Peggotty family home - ingeniously fashioned from an old boat - we find ourselves witnessing the meeting between young David Copperfield and Little Emily. The illustration beautifully brings to life their innocent friendship against a backdrop that exudes both charm and nostalgia. Cooper's talent as a commercial artist shines through in this piece, showcasing his ability to evoke emotion and transport viewers into another era. Having studied art in Cardiff and Arbroath before embarking on his career as an artist, Cooper's return to London saw him designing posters not only for LNER but also for Indian State Railways and London Transport. This remarkable print is part of the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection; it serves as a testament to both British literature and railway history. So take a journey through time with "The Booklovers Britain: Yarmouth" and let your imagination wander amidst the pages of one of Charles Dickens' most cherished tales.
