EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1931, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) commissioned this stunning poster for display in Belgium. The artwork, created by Fred Taylor, showcases the picturesque city of York in all its glory. In this particular scene, we are treated to a magnificent view of Kings Manor with the iconic York Minster towering majestically in the background. Originally built as Abbots House for St Marys Abbey, Kings Manor underwent various transformations throughout history. It served as a seat of government for both Tudors and Stuarts before being designated as the official residence of the President of the Council of the North in 1561. The historical significance doesn't end there; during the 1830s, Kings Manor became a school for blind individuals before eventually becoming part of York University by the 1960s. This rich tapestry of heritage is beautifully captured in Taylor's artwork. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder not only of York's architectural splendor but also its enduring legacy that has shaped generations. The intricate details and vibrant colors transport us back to an era where railway travel was celebrated through artistry and storytelling. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate how railways have not only connected people but also immortalized cultural landmarks like Kings Manor and York Minster on an international stage.
