EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1964, when British Railways (Southern Region) introduced a remarkable poster to promote an exciting offer - combined train and admission tickets to Chessington Zoo in Surrey. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Bromfield, beautifully captures the essence of this unique collaboration between transportation and entertainment. The poster itself exudes a sense of adventure and curiosity, inviting viewers to embark on a journey that promises both savings and enjoyment. With vibrant colors and intricate details, it transports us into a world where majestic animals roam freely amidst lush greenery. The image serves as a window into the wonders that await visitors at Chessington Zoo. During this era, such innovative promotions were not only aimed at attracting tourists but also encouraging people to explore different parts of their own country. This particular campaign highlights the Southern Region's commitment to providing affordable leisure opportunities for families across Britain. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and evoke emotions even decades later. It serves as a testament to the power of creativity in capturing our imagination while simultaneously promoting cultural experiences. Let this enchanting print transport you back in time; imagine yourself standing on a bustling platform ready for an unforgettable day out at Chessington Zoo – all made possible through British Railways' visionary partnership with one of Surrey's most beloved attractions.
