EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1930, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) sought to entice travelers to explore the historic city of Lincoln in Lincolnshire. The poster, skillfully crafted by artist Gordon Mitchell Forsyth, showcases a mesmerizing view of The Stonebow - an architectural gem that stands as a testament to centuries gone by. The Stonebow itself is steeped in history, having been constructed in the early 16th century as a replacement for the main Roman gate into the Lower City. It is believed that this ancient gateway once stood just north of where The Stonebow now proudly resides. Although heavily restored during the late 19th century, its charm and grandeur remain intact. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, our eyes are drawn towards a bustling crowd gathered around The Stonebow monument. Their presence adds life and vibrancy to an already picturesque scene. One can only imagine their excitement and anticipation as they prepare to embark on their rail journey through LNER's impeccable service. With dimensions measuring at an impressive 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this print captures every intricate detail with precision and clarity. A true masterpiece from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, it serves as both a visual delight and a nostalgic reminder of days long past.
