EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to the bustling Paddington Station in London circa 1914. Three porters stand tall and proud, their uniforms immaculate as they pose for the camera. Behind them, a vibrant display of advertising boards showcases various GWR posters that undoubtedly caught the attention of passersby. Amongst these eye-catching posters is one that particularly stands out - an advertisement campaign titled "See Your Country First". This intriguing poster compares Cornwall with Italy, enticing travelers to explore the beauty and wonders of their own homeland. It serves as a reminder that even during times of great change and uncertainty, there was still a desire to appreciate and celebrate what Britain had to offer. The image captures not only the hardworking staff at Paddington Station but also provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century publicity techniques employed by GWR. These advertisements were strategically placed within this bustling hub of transportation, ensuring maximum exposure for potential passengers. As we admire this timeless photograph print, let us reflect on how it encapsulates both history and progress. The dedication shown by these porters symbolizes the commitment and pride felt towards their work at one of London's most iconic stations. And while commercial use may be absent from our thoughts here, we cannot help but appreciate how such images continue to preserve moments like these for generations to come.
