EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Waterloo Station during a significant moment in history. Created as part of the celebrations for the centenary of Waterloo Station's opening in 1948, this poster commissioned by Southern Railways (SR) pays tribute to a century of uninterrupted service during both war and peace. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Helen McKie, showcases her talent honed at the prestigious Lambeth School of Art. McKie's expertise is evident in every detail, from soldiers bidding farewell to their loved ones to clocks symbolizing time's unwavering march forward. Not limited to designing posters alone, McKie was a multi-talented artist who also wrote and illustrated booklets and other promotional material. Her creative prowess extended beyond paper as she even designed uniforms and upholstery. In fact, her exceptional skills were recognized internationally when she exhibited at the renowned Paris Salon and leading London galleries. In addition to these accomplishments, McKie was entrusted with adorning two new coaches for the cross-Channel service in 1939 – an honor that speaks volumes about her artistic vision. Measuring an impressive 1016mm x 1270mm, this print brings together history, artistry, and railway heritage into one remarkable piece. A testament to resilience amidst adversity and dedication throughout time, it serves as a timeless reminder of Waterloo Station's enduring legacy.
