EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting coastal beauty of Cornwall in 1937. A masterpiece by Leonard Richmond, this Great Western Railway (GWR) poster showcases a picturesque harbour scene that is sure to transport viewers into a world of tranquility and nostalgia. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of Cornwall's rugged coastline, with its majestic lighthouses standing tall against the crashing waves. The boats gently bobbing in the harbor add a touch of liveliness to the scene, while charming fishing villages nestled along the shore evoke a sense of community and simplicity. Richmond's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays every element - from meticulously painted sailboats gliding through azure waters to quaint cottages dotting the landscape. This GWR poster truly encapsulates Cornwall's timeless charm and invites viewers on an imaginary journey through its idyllic seaside towns. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we can almost feel the salty breeze on our faces and hear seagulls calling out overhead. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace, allowing for moments of serenity amidst nature's grandeur. Preserved by NRM/Pictorial Collection at National Railway Museum, this print not only celebrates Richmond's artistic brilliance but also pays homage to GWR's role in promoting travel and exploration during that era.
