EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage print takes us back to the golden era of rail travel, capturing the essence of St Ives, Cornwall in all its natural beauty. Created by renowned artist Borlase Smart in 1935 for Great Western Railway (GWR), this poster was designed to entice travelers to explore the picturesque town and its surrounding areas. The artwork transports us to a time when train journeys were not just a means of transportation but an experience in themselves. The sweeping view depicted here showcases St Ives' moorland scenery and magnificent coastline, inviting viewers to imagine themselves strolling along its sandy beaches or hiking through its rolling hills. St Ives is known for its idyllic charm and this print perfectly encapsulates that allure. The vibrant colors bring life to the landscape, highlighting the contrast between lush green hills and crystal-clear blue waters. It's easy to get lost in this image, daydreaming about lazy days spent exploring hidden coves or enjoying panoramic views from atop rugged cliffs. As we admire this piece of art from National Railway Museum's collection, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when holidays meant embarking on grand adventures by train. This print serves as a reminder that even today, amidst our fast-paced world, there are still places like St Ives waiting to be discovered - where nature meets tranquility and memories are made.
