VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image features a vintage travel poster for the North Eastern Railway. The poster is promoting Barnard Castle, which is described as "A centre of unmatched woodland and river scenery for both of which Teesdale is famous. " The illustration on the poster shows a serene view of a castle overlooking a river with surrounding trees and vegetation, reflecting an idyllic countryside setting. At the top, there's a quote saying "Proud Barnard's bannered walls, " indicating some historical or poetic significance to the location. Below that, in large letters, it reads "NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY. " The bottom section provides additional information about obtaining descriptive booklets and details about cheap tickets from any station to the Chief Passenger Agent at York. This suggests that this advertisement was likely used to encourage tourism via train travel to this picturesque destination during the time when rail was one of the primary means of long-distance transportation.
