EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Harrow School, as depicted in an iconic poster produced by the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) between 1923 and 1947. The LMS dedicated a series of posters to highlight England's prestigious public schools, and this particular artwork beautifully captures the essence of Harrow School. Founded in 1571 by John Lyons, Harrow School has stood as a symbol of excellence in education for centuries. The image portrayed in this poster is that of the Old Schools building, which holds great historical significance within the school's grounds. Its grandeur and architectural splendor are brought to life through Norman Wilkinson's artistic vision. Wilkinson himself was no stranger to creating visually stunning works. Having studied art at Portsmouth and Southsea Schools of Art, he became renowned as a marine painter before venturing into designing railway posters for various companies. In fact, he organized the Royal Academy series of posters specifically for the London & Midlands Railway (LMR) back in 1924. With its rich heritage and timeless beauty captured on this print, it serves as both a testament to Harrow School's legacy and an exquisite example of Wilkinson's talent. This photograph preserves an important piece of educational history while also showcasing the intricate connection between artistry and transportation during that era.
