EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage poster from the 1950s, produced for British Railways (Scottish Region) and featuring the remarkable artwork of Terence Cuneo. The poster transports us to Glen Ogle in Perthshire, Scotland, where a locomotive gracefully winds its way through the breathtaking Scottish countryside. Cuneo's talent as a painter shines through in this composition, capturing not only the picturesque landscape but also evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era when steam trains ruled the tracks. His attention to detail is evident as he masterfully depicts every element of this scene – from the rugged rocks that dot the hillsides to the lush greenery that surrounds them. Renowned for his railway scenes, Cuneo was commissioned by BR during the 1940s onwards to create numerous posters showcasing different aspects of rail travel. However, his artistic prowess extended beyond railways; he also excelled in painting portraits and ceremonial and military subjects. Having studied at prestigious art schools in London such as Chelsea and Slade Art Schools, Cuneo honed his skills and developed a distinctive style that made him one of Britain's most prolific painters. This print serves as both a testament to Cuneo's artistic legacy and an invitation to immerse oneself in the beauty of Scotland's highlands. It captures not just a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates our enduring fascination with trains and their ability to transport us physically and emotionally across vast landscapes.
