EDITORS COMMENTS
"This image is a beautiful representation of Somerset countryside as depicted in one of the six posters designed by Frank Newbould for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1931. Entitled "East Coast Types," this artwork showcases the picturesque beauty of the English landscape along the railway line. The scene features the rolling hills of Somerset, dotted with quaint cottages and grazing livestock, as the sun sets over the horizon. The LNER was known for its fondness of commissioning sets of posters, and this particular series was no exception. Newbould's skillful brushstrokes bring the tranquility and charm of rural England to life, making it an ideal promotional piece for the railway company. The image was not only used in the railway's internal poster campaigns but was also featured in press and holiday publicity, further expanding its reach and impact. This print is a testament to the artistic talent and marketing savvy of the LNER during the early 20th century, and a reminder of the romantic allure of train travel during that era."
