EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage poster, dating back to the 1930s, captures the breathtaking beauty of Kyle of Lochalsh in the Scottish Highlands. Created by renowned artist Norman Wilkinson, this artwork was commissioned by the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMSR) to promote train services to this enchanting destination. The poster transports viewers to a serene scene from Skye, offering a captivating view across the Kyle towards Lochalsh Hotel. In perfect harmony with its surroundings, a majestic MacBraynes steamer gracefully sails on the tranquil waters of the loch. The text beneath not only highlights the allure of this region but also promotes both MacBraynes steamers and LMS Lochalsh Hotel as ideal choices for visitors seeking an unforgettable experience. Wilkinson's artistic prowess shines through in his masterful depiction of nature's grandeur and attention to detail. Having studied art at Portsmouth and Southsea Schools of Art, he became widely recognized as a marine painter. His talent extended beyond creating posters for LMSR; he also designed artworks for other prominent railway companies such as LNWR, LMR, and SR. Preserved by National Railway Museum today, this print measures an impressive 1016 mm x 635 mm—large enough to transport anyone who gazes upon it into a world where time stands still amidst Scotland's picturesque landscapes.
