The poster, created by renowned artist Lee-Elliott for the Southern Railway (SR), showcases their special trains and fares from London's Waterloo station to this prestigious event. The vibrant colors and exquisite details transport us to a time when rail travel was not only practical but also an elegant affair. As we gaze upon the image, we can almost hear the excited chatter of well-dressed racegoers boarding these specially arranged trains. The poster captures the essence of Royal Ascot, with its iconic racecourse nestled amidst lush green fields. Horses gallop gracefully across the track while jockeys clad in colorful silks urge them on towards victory. It is a scene that epitomizes both speed and grace, perfectly encapsulating the excitement that awaits those who choose to embark on this railway journey. The collaboration between SR and Lee-Elliott has resulted in a masterpiece that effortlessly combines artistry with promotion.
