EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage poster from around 1910, promoting the Liverpool Overhead Railway (LOR) and its remarkable tours of the bustling Liverpool Docks and picturesque River Mersey. The LOR, established in 1893 and operating until 1956, holds the distinction of being the world's first elevated electric railway. Despite many railways falling under nationalization in 1948, this innovative transportation system managed to retain its independence. The artwork featured on this poster was created by an unknown artist who skillfully captured the essence of Liverpool's vibrant maritime scene. With intricate details and vivid colors, it entices viewers to embark on a journey through this thriving port city. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back in time to an era when steamships dotted the riverbanks and dockworkers bustled with activity.

Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and technological innovation. It reminds us of Liverpool's rich history as a hub for trade and transport while offering glimpses into daily life during that period. Whether you're fascinated by rail travel or captivated by historical imagery, this striking photograph invites you to explore an extraordinary chapter in Liverpool's past through the lens of one pioneering railway company - The Liverpool Overhead Railway.
