EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1938, where vibrant colors and intricate details come together to promote rail services to Canterbury. Created by the talented artist Shep - Charles Shepherd, this exquisite colour poster was produced for the Southern Railway (SR) with a singular purpose: to entice travelers towards the enchanting city of Canterbury. The image showcases the iconic Canterbury Cathedral as its centerpiece, standing tall and majestic against a picturesque backdrop. Its grandeur is emphasized by meticulous brushstrokes that bring out every architectural detail and highlight its significance as a historical landmark. The artist's skillful use of color adds depth and vibrancy, making it impossible not to be drawn into this mesmerizing scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from our National Railway Museum collection, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping onto one of those vintage trains that once traversed these very tracks. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when rail travel was not just a means of transportation but also an experience in itself. This print captures more than just an advertisement; it encapsulates history, artistry, and the allure of exploration all in one frame. It stands as a testament to how visual storytelling through posters played an integral role in promoting destinations during that time period – inviting individuals on unforgettable journeys filled with discovery and wonderment.
