This print takes us back to the year 1934, when rail travel was being promoted to the enchanting Western Highlands in Scotland. The London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) and London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) joined forces to create this stunning poster that now stands as a testament to their efforts. The focal point of this artwork is an exquisite illustration of Rob Roy, the legendary Scottish folk hero and outlaw who lived from 1671-1734. Dressed in traditional Highland attire, complete with a kilt and tartan pattern, he exudes strength and resilience. The artist behind this masterpiece is Doris Zinkeisen, a talented individual who not only designed railway posters but also created stage sets and costumes for the theatre. Measuring at an impressive 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this print captures every intricate detail of Zinkeisen's work. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and folklore that surrounds Scotland's Western Highlands. As we gaze upon it, we are transported into a world where legends come alive amidst breathtaking landscapes.
