EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1939, when the Southern Railway poster titled "Excursion to London" was first introduced. The artwork, skillfully created by Pat Keely (died 1970), showcases a remarkable scene featuring two iconic landmarks of London: Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. The image transports us to an era where train travel was not only a means of transportation but also an adventure filled with excitement and discovery. As we gaze upon this vintage masterpiece, we can almost imagine ourselves embarking on that very same excursion to the bustling city of London. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the grandeur and architectural magnificence of both Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. The vibrant colors used evoke a sense of liveliness and energy that must have enticed countless travelers during that time. Preserved by National Railway Museum, this print serves as a reminder of our rich railway heritage. It symbolizes more than just a mode of transport; it represents an era when train journeys were cherished experiences that allowed people to explore new horizons. As we admire this timeless piece, let it inspire us to appreciate both the artistry behind such creations and the historical significance they hold within our society's collective memory.
