EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1939, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) and London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) collaborated to promote their train services to the breathtaking Western Highlands of Scotland. The artwork, skillfully crafted by J Lamorna Birch, transports us into a world of serene beauty and untamed nature. As we gaze upon this poster, our eyes are immediately drawn towards the majestic mountains that dominate the landscape. Their snow-capped peaks reach towards the heavens while casting long shadows over lush green valleys below. The sheer magnitude of these towering giants is awe-inspiring and evokes a sense of both tranquility and adventure. The countryside surrounding these magnificent mountains is equally enchanting. Rolling hills stretch out as far as the eye can see, dotted with charming cottages nestled amidst vibrant wildflowers. A winding railway track cuts through this idyllic scene like a lifeline connecting civilization with nature's grandeur. Every detail in this image has been meticulously captured - from wisps of clouds gently caressing mountaintops to sunlight filtering through dense foliage. It is evident that Birch's artistic prowess lies not only in his ability to capture landscapes but also in his talent for conveying emotions through brushstrokes. This print serves as a timeless reminder of an era when railways were not just means of transportation but gateways to exploration and discovery. It invites us to embark on a journey where time slows down, allowing us to immerse ourselves
