1. Title: "A Piece of Rail History: The Flying Scotsman Luggage Label by Captain Harry Lawrence Oakley, 1924" This luggage label, dated 1924, showcases the iconic silhouette of the legendary Flying Scotsman steam train by the skilled hand of Captain Harry Lawrence Oakley. The label's intricate design transports us back in time, evoking the romance and excitement of the golden age of rail travel. The Flying Scotsman, a British Royal Scot Class locomotive, was named for the daily express train service connecting Edinburgh and London, which set off at 6:15 am, making it the earliest scheduled train in the world. The train's reputation for speed and reliability quickly earned it the moniker "The Flying Scotsman." Captain Harry Lawrence Oakley, a renowned silhouette artist, was commissioned to create this exquisite luggage label to commemorate the train's prestigious status. His artistry is evident in the meticulous detail of the engine's silhouette, which accurately captures the train's distinctive features, including the large chimney, domed boiler, and intricate wheel design. The label's rich, deep colors and bold lines add to its visual appeal, making it a desirable collector's item for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This label not only serves as a functional piece of luggage identification but also as a testament to the enduring allure of the steam train era and the ingenuity of those who designed and operated these magnificent machines. In this age of high-speed trains and modern transportation, it's fascinating to look back at the history of rail travel and appreciate the intricacies of a bygone era, as captured beautifully by Captain Harry Lawrence Oakley in this stunning luggage label.
