EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, when travel on the railways was being promoted by the North Eastern Railway (NER). Part of a series dedicated to showcasing historic monuments in North East England, this particular poster features an exquisite view of Richmond Castle. The artwork for this poster was skillfully created by Frank Henry Mason, a talented artist with a diverse background. Having received his education at HMS Conway and spending considerable time at sea, Mason's artistic repertoire primarily revolved around marine and coastal subjects. However, he also had a keen interest in engineering and shipbuilding. Mason's expertise shines through in this stunning depiction of Richmond Castle. The castle stands tall against the backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills, exuding an air of grandeur and history. Its ancient stone walls tell tales of centuries gone by, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported to an era where railway travel was not only practical but also imbued with a sense of adventure. This NER poster serves as both an invitation to explore the rich heritage of North East England's historic monuments and as a testament to Mason's artistic prowess. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print is not just a piece of art but also a window into our past – reminding us that even amidst technological advancements, there will always be value in appreciating our cultural heritage.
