EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming town of Ipswich in 1928, as depicted in a promotional poster created by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER). The poster aims to entice travelers to explore this Suffolk county gem, which played a significant role in Charles Dickens' renowned novel, The Pickwick Papers. In this vibrant artwork by Fred Taylor, we witness Mr Pickwick himself parading through the streets of Ipswich. Seated comfortably in a sedan chair, he is surrounded by an air of grandeur and curiosity. As our eyes wander towards the background, we are greeted with the sight of the iconic Ancient House. This historic building, constructed way back in 1567, adds a touch of timeless elegance to the scene. Fred Taylor's artistic prowess shines through not only in this LNER poster but also in his other notable works for prestigious institutions such as Lloyds and London Transport. His talent for capturing intricate details and evoking nostalgia is evident here as well. Transporting us back to an era when rail travel was at its peak, this print serves as a visual reminder of both literary heritage and architectural splendor.
