EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of Warwick Castle, a magnificent medieval fortress that has stood proudly on the banks of the River Avon for over nine centuries. The poster, produced in 1924 by London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS), seeks to promote rail travel to this historic destination. The image showcases the grandeur and beauty of Warwick Castle, with its towering walls and turrets reflecting in the calm waters below. The castle's rich history is evident in every stone, as it was originally constructed in the 11th century. Its strategic location on a bend of the river made it an imposing stronghold during times of conflict. Although we cannot see the accompanying text due to trimming, one can only imagine that it would have enticed potential travelers with promises of adventure and discovery within these ancient walls. Artwork by Adrian Stokes brings life to this poster through his skillful depiction of light and shadow. Every detail is meticulously captured, from the intricate stonework to the delicate arches of nearby bridges spanning across the river. This print serves as a captivating reminder not only of Warwick Castle's architectural splendor but also as a testament to LMS' efforts in promoting rail travel during this era. It invites us to step back in time and experience firsthand why this majestic castle continues to captivate visitors from around the world today.
