EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1941, when London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) sought to entice travelers to St Andrews, Fife. Known as the birthplace of golf, this picturesque town in Scotland holds a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts of the royal and ancient game. The poster showcases the magnificent ruins of St Andrews Castle, once home to Scotland's esteemed bishops and later the Archbishops of St Andrews. As we gaze upon this artwork by Fred Taylor, an acclaimed artist who exhibited at prestigious galleries like the Royal Academy, we are transported to a time where rail travel was not just a means of transportation but also an opportunity for adventure and discovery. With dimensions measuring 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this print commands attention and invites viewers into its world. The image captures both history and natural beauty in one frame. The crumbling remnants of centuries-old architecture stand against a backdrop of serene coastal scenery. It is impossible not to be captivated by the juxtaposition between man-made ruins and nature's eternal presence. This print from National Railway Museum serves as a reminder that travel can offer more than mere destinations; it can transport us through time itself.
