EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a series of new power stations in Britain, capturing the essence of progress and modernity during the mid-20th century. Created by renowned artist Norman Wilkinson for an advertisement promoting British Electricity in 1951, this artwork is part of a collection featuring various power stations across the country. Each painting within this print represents a different location, highlighting the diversity and widespread development of these essential structures. From Cliff Quay near Ipswich to Poole in Dorset, Staysthorpe near Newark to Agecroft near Manchester, and Stourport B in Worcestershire, each power station is depicted with meticulous attention to detail by talented artists such as R Vivian Pitchforth, AR Thomson, James Bateman, and Charles Cundall. The bold colors and striking imagery capture the grandeur and significance of these imposing buildings. The lettering on each facade adds an element of authenticity while emphasizing their purpose: providing electricity to fuel progress in post-war Britain. This print was originally featured in a guidebook for the Festival of Britain held in 1951 – an event that celebrated British achievements across various industries. It serves as both a testament to technological advancements at that time and as a reminder of how far we have come since then. With its rich history and visual appeal, this print is not only a remarkable piece from Norman Wilkinson but also an important artifact representing Britain's commitment to innovation during the mid-20th century.
