EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1930s with this charming print from the National Railway Museum. The poster, produced for Midland Railway (MR), captures the essence of a bygone era when train travel was at its peak. Promoting the picturesque Peak District as an ideal destination for artists and photographers, it transports us to Millers Dale, a stunning area known for its rolling green hills and tranquil waterfall. In this delightful scene, we see an elegant woman dressed in a striped gown immersed in the beauty of her surroundings. With a bellows camera in hand, she epitomizes the spirit of picture-making that flourished during this period. Her gaze is fixed on two children who are joyfully making their way up the hillside while carrying a picnic basket. Their innocence and excitement add an element of playfulness to this idyllic countryside setting. The artwork by Charles E Turner perfectly encapsulates the allure of nature's wonders and highlights how photography can capture these moments forever. It invites us to embark on our own journey through time and space, immersing ourselves in both artistry and adventure. This vintage print serves as a reminder that even amidst modern advancements, there is still magic to be found in capturing life's simple pleasures through photography – just like those early travelers who were enticed by Midland Railway's promise of exploration and inspiration within the breathtaking landscapes of The Peak District.
