EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1932, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) sought to entice travelers with their express services and affordable fares to the picturesque town of Colchester in Essex. The poster, skillfully crafted by renowned artist Fred Taylor, showcases a scene that transports us through time. In this artwork, we are greeted by a group of visitors eagerly entering the ruins of Colchester Castle. This magnificent structure dates all the way back to the 11th century Norman era and stands as a testament to England's rich history. Its weathered walls evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue, beckoning explorers from far and wide. Taylor's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he masterfully captures both the grandeur of Colchester Castle and its tranquil surroundings. The lush greenery that surrounds it adds an element of serenity amidst this ancient architectural marvel. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into another world - one where knights once roamed these very grounds and tales of chivalry were woven into everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even within our modern existence, there are remnants of past civilizations waiting patiently for us to discover them. This print from National Railway Museum not only celebrates LNER's commitment to providing exceptional travel experiences but also invites us on an enchanting journey through time and history.
