EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Historic Bath" poster from 1939. Created for the Great Western Railway and London Midland & Scottish Railway, this artwork by Frank Newbould transports us back to an era when travel was not just about reaching a destination but also about experiencing the beauty and cultural heritage along the way. The poster depicts the enchanting city of Bath, renowned for its Roman baths, spa towns, sculptures, archaeology, and leisurely atmosphere. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring to life the grandeur of this historic cityscape. One can almost imagine strolling through its streets adorned with elegant Georgian architecture or indulging in a rejuvenating soak in one of its famous thermal baths. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how railways played a significant role in connecting people to these extraordinary destinations. They offered an escape from everyday life and provided opportunities for exploration and discovery. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind such posters as well as their historical significance. It serves as a testament to how railway companies sought not only to promote their services but also celebrate Britain's rich cultural heritage. Through this image capture from NRM/Pictorial Collection at National Railway Museum, we are transported back in time while being inspired to embark on our own journeys of exploration and appreciation for our country's past.
