EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the birthplace of one of Scotland's most beloved poets, Robert Burns. The poster, produced between 1923 and 1947 for the London Midland & Scottish (LMS) and London & North Eastern Railways (LNER), beautifully showcases the house in Alloway, Ayrshire where Burns was born. The artwork by Norman Wilkinson transports us to this historic site, capturing its charm and significance. The poster art skillfully portrays the quaint cottage surrounded by lush greenery, evoking a sense of tranquility that resonates with Burns' poetic spirit. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost imagine ourselves walking through the very rooms where young Robert Burns took his first breaths. It is a place steeped in history and inspiration; a place that shaped the life and works of one of Scotland's literary icons. The National Railway Museum has preserved this piece as part of their Pictorial Collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance. This poster serves as a reminder of how railways played a role in promoting tourism and cultural heritage during that era. Whether you are an admirer of Robert Burns or simply captivated by vintage railway posters, this print offers a glimpse into both Scotland's rich literary heritage and the golden age of rail travel.
