Lichfield Cathedral, BR poster, 1948
Poster produced for British Raiways (BR) to promote rail travel to Lichfield, Staffordshire. The poster shows a view of the exterior of Litchfield Cathedral.

The west front is a 19th century reproduction of a 13th-14th century original. Artwork by Claude Buckle (1905-1973), who originally trained as an architect but turned to fine art in 1928.

This print showcases the magnificent Lichfield Cathedral, as depicted in a 1948 British Railways (BR) poster. The artwork, created by Claude Buckle, aims to promote rail travel to the enchanting city of Lichfield in Staffordshire. The poster presents a breathtaking view of the cathedral's exterior, highlighting its Gothic architecture constructed from local sandstone during the 12th century. What sets Lichfield Cathedral apart from other medieval English cathedrals is its remarkable trio of spires. This unique feature adds an extra touch of grandeur and elegance to this architectural masterpiece. Additionally, the west front of the cathedral is a reproduction dating back to the 19th century but faithfully replicates its original design from centuries earlier. Claude Buckle, renowned for his versatility as both an architect and fine artist, expertly captured the essence and beauty of Lichfield Cathedral in this stunning piece. His mastery shines through in his use of oil and watercolor mediums throughout his prolific career as a poster artist for both GWR and BR.
