EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Percy Tomb, nestled within the awe-inspiring Beverley Minster. Produced by British Railways (BR) in the 1960s to promote train services to Beverley, East Riding, this poster transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and architectural splendor. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Kenneth Steel (1906-1970), captures the essence of this religious marvel with remarkable precision. The intricate details of the tomb's ornate carvings and delicate stonework are brought to life through his masterful brushstrokes. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but be drawn into its rich history and profound significance. Beverley Minster itself stands as a testament to human ingenuity and devotion. Its towering spires reach towards the heavens, while its majestic interior exudes an air of tranquility and reverence. This sacred space has witnessed centuries of worship and contemplation, providing solace for countless souls seeking spiritual enlightenment. Through this evocative photograph, BR sought not only to entice travelers with promises of scenic beauty but also to highlight Britain's cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that our railway networks have long played a vital role in connecting people with these extraordinary landmarks. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print is more than just a promotional piece; it is a window into our past—a visual representation of both artistic talent and historical preservation.
