"Design: A Journey Through Time and Place" Step into the world of design, where creativity knows no bounds. From the picturesque landscapes of Cornwall to the bustling streets of Barcelona, every corner of the globe holds its own unique charm. In 1938, a GWR poster captured the essence of Cornwall with its vibrant colors and stunning imagery. The rugged coastline beckons you to explore its hidden treasures, while Downland Rambles invites you to wander through idyllic countryside in the 1950s. Transport yourself back to 1923-1947 when LMS/LNER showcased Aberdeen - The Silver City by the Sea. This masterpiece combines elegance and grandeur, reflecting a time when travel was an art form in itself. Similarly, a Victorian botanical illustration showcases Oak Tree or Quercus in all its natural glory – a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. The Morgan Plus 8 Britain epitomizes timeless design with its sleek lines and classic beauty. It embodies British engineering at its finest – a true work of art on wheels. Traveling further along our journey, we encounter Swanage's BR poster from around 1955. Its simplicity captures the essence of this coastal town perfectly – inviting visitors to bask in sun-kissed beaches and enjoy carefree moments. Weston-super-Mare's BR poster from 1948-1965 transports us back in time as we envision families strolling along promenades and creating memories that last a lifetime. No discussion about design would be complete without mentioning Antoni Gaudi's Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Spain's captivating city of Barcelona. Its intricate details leave spectators awestruck – proof that even architecture can be an artistic masterpiece. Delving deeper into history, we discover King Class locomotive's design drawing from 1927. Every line meticulously crafted for both functionality and aesthetics; it represents innovation ahead of its time.
