Created by the talented artist Eric Fraser, this artwork was commissioned to commemorate the centenary of York Station, one of Britain's most significant railway hubs. The poster transports us back in time to the enchanting world of steam locomotives and Victorian fashion. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, it beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era. The image depicts a bustling scene at York Station, where passengers donning elegant 19th-century attire eagerly await their train's arrival. The majestic steam engines stand tall against the backdrop of an architectural masterpiece.
