EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the golden era of Chessington Zoo & Circus, as depicted in a striking Southern Railway poster from 1923-1947. The artwork, skillfully crafted by D W Burley, transports us to a world where excitement and adventure await at every turn. The poster showcases an enchanting scene that captures the essence of this beloved destination. A magnificent roller coaster car dominates the foreground, its vibrant colors and intricate details inviting thrill-seekers to embark on an unforgettable journey. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the rush of wind against our faces and hear the delighted screams echoing through the air. Beyond the roller coaster lies Chessington Zoo & Circus itself - a wonderland filled with exotic animals and awe-inspiring performances. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes bring these creatures to life, their majestic presence adding another layer of allure to this already mesmerizing composition. This National Railway Museum print serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance behind railway posters but also providing insight into leisure activities enjoyed by people during that era. It reminds us of simpler times when families would gather together for thrilling excursions aboard railcars bound for exciting destinations like Chessington Zoo & Circus. As we admire this piece of artistry preserved within NRM/Pictorial Collection's archives, let it transport us back in time - if only for a moment - reminding us that joy and wonder can be found even amidst adversity.
