EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1930s takes us back to a time when train travel was synonymous with luxury and elegance. The poster, produced by the renowned Pullman Company, aimed to entice travelers from Glasgow and Edinburgh to experience their premium services all the way down to Kings Cross in London. In this stunning artwork by Septimus E Scott, we are introduced to "The Queen of Scots Pullman" an opulent train that epitomized sophistication. The focal point of the image is an impeccably dressed woman standing on a platform, ready to embark on her journey. Her attire exudes timeless glamour, reflecting both the fashion trends of the era and the grandeur associated with train travel. As she prepares to step onto the luxurious carriage, we catch a glimpse of ticket inspectors and porters in the background. Their presence serves as a reminder of the impeccable service provided by Pullman staff throughout each passenger's voyage. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes nostalgia for an era when traveling was considered an event worth dressing up for. It reminds us of how railway companies like Pullman played a vital role in shaping our perception of travel as something more than just reaching our destination – it became an experience filled with style and grace.
