EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1958, when British Railways unveiled a striking poster promoting the enchanting city of Oxford. The artwork, skillfully crafted by A Carr Linford, showcases Broad Street - an iconic location adorned with stunning architecture and steeped in history. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent spires that proudly punctuate Oxford's skyline. The composition effortlessly captures the essence of this ancient city, known as the "city of spires". Its streets exude a sense of timeless charm, lined with elegant buildings that stand as testaments to centuries gone by. Churches rise majestically amidst bustling towns and cities; their architectural grandeur serving as reminders of both spiritual devotion and cultural heritage. As we delve into this snapshot from yesteryears, it is impossible not to be captivated by British Railways' endeavor to entice travelers towards Oxford's allure. This poster serves not only as an advertisement but also as a window into a different era - one where railways were at the heart of transportation networks and played pivotal roles in connecting people across vast distances. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print invites us on a journey through time. It allows us to appreciate not just the beauty captured within its frame but also reflects on how travel has evolved over decades while reminding us of Oxford's enduring appeal for visitors seeking inspiration from its historic streetscapes and towering spires.
