EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1907, when the Sixth International Motor Exhibition was held at Olympia in London. The poster, produced by North British Railway (NBR), aimed to promote their routes to London for this prestigious event. In the foreground of the image, we see a woman elegantly dressed, her finger pointing towards the words "Motor Exhibition" drawing our attention to this exciting occasion. Behind her stands Olympia, an iconic venue that hosted numerous grand events throughout history. The unknown artist skillfully captured both the allure of the exhibition and NBR's commitment to providing excellent rail services. The text beneath the picture provides essential details about these services, ensuring potential visitors are aware of convenient transportation options available via NBR. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a testament to not only NBR's promotional efforts but also highlights how art played a significant role in advertising during that era. It transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and its historical significance. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece of history, we can't help but imagine what it must have been like attending such an esteemed motor exhibition over a century ago – witnessing groundbreaking innovations while enjoying seamless travel facilitated by North British Railway.
