EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster, titled "The Royal Mail Routes to Ireland" takes us back to the year 1957 when British Railways (BR) aimed to promote their shipping routes from Heysham, Lancashire to Belfast, Northern Ireland, and from Holyhead on the Isle of Angelsea to Dun Laoghaire near Dublin, Ireland. The artistic brilliance of Shearing is evident in this stunning print that measures 1016 mm x 635 mm. The poster beautifully captures the essence of each region it represents. Shamrocks gracefully symbolize Ireland's rich heritage and cultural identity. Roses elegantly embody England's beauty and grace while a daffodil proudly represents Wales' vibrant spirit. These illustrations seamlessly blend together, showcasing the harmonious connection between these nations. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork serves as a testament to the historical significance of mail transportation during that era. It reminds us of an era when letters were cherished means of communication across borders and seas. Preserved by NRM/Pictorial Collection at National Railway Museum, this photograph print transports us back in time with its nostalgic charm.
