EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of Paddington, Great Western Royal Hotel. Designed by the renowned architect Philip Hardwick and constructed between 1850-1852, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to the rich history of railway travel. From an elevated position in a nearby building, we are treated to a mesmerizing view of the hotel's frontage and part of its side. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship showcased in this image transport us to an era when elegance and luxury were synonymous with train station hotels. The bustling scene captured here is reminiscent of the early 20th century, around 1910. A horse-drawn cab can be seen parked near the entrance, hinting at a bygone mode of transportation that coexisted with trains during this period. Imagination works wonders as we envision travelers from all walks of life passing through these doors - businessmen embarking on important journeys, families eagerly setting off on adventures, or perhaps even famous figures seeking respite within its opulent walls. Preserved within this photograph is not just a building but also a piece of our collective transport history. It serves as a reminder that railways have long been instrumental in connecting people across vast distances and shaping societies. Displayed proudly at the National Railway Museum, this poster invites us to delve into an era where rail travel was more than just getting from point A to B; it was an experience filled with wonderment and charm. Let it ignite your imagination and take you
