EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the golden era of travel, specifically between 1923 and 1947. Produced by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), this stunning poster was designed to promote their Holiday Handbook, enticing adventurous souls to explore the Western Highlands. The artwork, skillfully crafted by John Mace, transports us into a picturesque scene that showcases nature's magnificence. The focal point of this image is an impressive bridge gracefully arching over a rocky river. Its sturdy structure stands as a testament to human ingenuity amidst rugged terrain. As we gaze at the bridge, our eyes are drawn further into the landscape where majestic mountains rise proudly against the sky. These towering peaks seem to whisper tales of untamed beauty waiting to be discovered. The LNER understood how crucial visual appeal was in attracting travelers, and they certainly succeeded with this masterpiece. The composition expertly captures both tranquility and excitement simultaneously – a perfect representation of what awaits those who venture into these highlands. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a reminder of an era when railway posters were not only advertisements but also works of art themselves. It invites us on an imaginary journey through breathtaking landscapes while igniting our wanderlust for exploration beyond ordinary boundaries.
