EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1939, showcasing a remarkable British Railways (SR) poster. The artwork, created by the talented artist Gregory Brown and printed by The Baynard Press in London, captures the essence of one of London's most iconic landmarks - Piccadilly Circus. The poster features a striking silhouette of Eros, the Greek god of love and desire, standing proudly amidst the vibrant lights and towering buildings that define this famous intersection. As night falls over Piccadilly Circus, Eros becomes an enchanting symbol that beckons tourists to embark on exciting excursions from this very station. With its bold colors and meticulous attention to detail, this railway poster serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a powerful promotional tool for tourism. It invites viewers to explore all that London has to offer - from its historical sites to its cultural attractions - with British Railways serving as their reliable transportation partner. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only showcases a significant piece of British railway history but also provides us with a glimpse into life during pre-war Britain. It reminds us of how art can transcend time and transport us back in time while igniting our imagination for future adventures.
