EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Rhuddlan Castle, located in Denbighshire, Wales. The poster was created in 1929 by Norman Wilkinson for the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) to promote rail travel to this historic site. Rhuddlan Castle has a rich and tumultuous history dating back to the 11th century. It witnessed numerous conflicts between Wales and England before ultimately falling under English rule. However, its fate took a tragic turn during the English Civil War when it was ravaged by Parliamentarians in 1643. Norman Wilkinson, renowned for his marine paintings, crafted this stunning artwork that captures the essence of Rhuddlan Castle's grandeur and historical significance. His artistic skills were honed at Portsmouth and Southsea Schools of Art. Measuring an impressive 1016 mm x 635 mm, this poster is a testament to LMS's dedication to promoting railway travel across Britain. It is part of a series designed by Wilkinson for various railway companies such as London & North Western Railway (LNWR), London & Midlands Railway (LMR), and Southern Railway (SR). Additionally, he organized the Royal Academy series of posters for LMR in 1924. The National Railway Museum proudly presents this print from their Pictorial Collection as a tribute to both British heritage and exceptional artistry captured within one frame.
