Come to Old World Cornwall and Step Back in Time - A Captivating Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This enchanting vintage print, dating back to 1931, invites you on a journey through time to the picturesque fishing villages of Cornwall. The Great Western Railway (GWR) poster captures the essence of this charming region, enticing travelers with its idyllic landscapes and rich maritime heritage. As your eyes wander over the image, you are transported to a quaint Cornish village nestled along the coast. A steep street lined with centuries-old houses gracefully descends towards a bustling harbor. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every brick seems alive with history. In this scene, a hardworking fisherman trudges up the cobbled street under his heavy burden—a basket filled with fresh catch from the sea. His presence adds an authentic touch, reminding us of Cornwall's deep-rooted connection to its seafaring traditions. Beyond him lies a breathtaking vista—rolling hills embrace sparkling blue waters that stretch as far as the eye can see. And there, amidst it all, stands a majestic tall-masted ship—an emblem of adventure and exploration. This evocative artwork was created by I Veale—a talented artist who skillfully captured Cornwall's timeless beauty. Originally displayed in North America alongside Cunard Line promotions by Boston-based Cunard Line agency, this poster served as an invitation for transatlantic travelers seeking an escape into old-world charm.
