EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) sought to entice travelers to the picturesque city of Ripon in North Yorkshire. The poster, skillfully designed by artist Fred Taylor, showcases a magnificent exterior view of Ripon Cathedral, an architectural gem that stands as a testament to centuries of history. The cathedral's grandeur is accentuated by its unique location above a crypt dating back to the 7th century – considered one of England's oldest. As sunlight bathes the intricate stonework and ornate windows, it casts ethereal shadows on the lush green surroundings. This image captures not only the beauty of Ripon Cathedral but also invites viewers to imagine themselves embarking on an enchanting journey through time and space. Printed with meticulous attention to detail by Vincent Brooks, Day & Son Ltd in London, this poster serves as both a work of art and a persuasive tool for rail travel enthusiasts. It transports us back to an era when train journeys were seen as exciting adventures waiting just beyond our doorstep. Now preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print allows us glimpses into history while reminding us that some experiences are truly timeless – like exploring majestic cathedrals nestled amidst idyllic landscapes.
