EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "To See the Assembled Fleet" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Naval Review held in May 1937 at Spithead, Portsmouth. The purpose of this grand event was to honor the coronation of King George VI, and it saw an impressive gathering of 160 ships from various nations. The proof copy of this promotional poster was created by Southern Railway (SR) to encourage rail services to Spithead during this remarkable occasion. The artwork for this piece was skillfully crafted by Charles Shep Shepherd, a talented artist who studied under Paul Woodroffe and served as head of the studio at Baynard Press. Shepherd's artistic prowess shines through in his design, which not only captures the magnitude and splendor of the assembled fleet but also showcases his versatility as he had previously designed posters for other esteemed entities like Royal Mail Packet Steam Company and London Transport. Measuring an impressive 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this print serves as a visual testament to both British naval power and railway excellence. It stands as a reminder of a time when such events were celebrated with great pomp and circumstance. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this image offers us a glimpse into our rich maritime heritage while highlighting the importance placed on transportation networks during historic milestones like royal coronations.
