EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1950, when British Railways (BR) Western Region (WR) released this stunning poster promoting rail travel to the picturesque market town of Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire. The artwork, skillfully created by Lander and printed by Beck and Inchbold, beautifully captures the essence of this charming destination. The image showcases a breathtaking view of old buildings nestled alongside a majestic church spire. In the foreground, we are treated to a serene scene with the tranquil River Wye meandering through the landscape. Adding an air of mystery and history is the castle-like Gazebo Tower, constructed as part of Palace Pound - John Collins' residence - complete with mock gothic town walls in 1833. As our eyes wander across this enchanting vista, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era where rail travel was not only practical but also filled with wonder and excitement. This poster serves as a reminder that there is so much beauty waiting to be explored within our own country. With its idyllic riverside setting, historic architecture, and intriguing landmarks like Gazebo Tower, Ross-on-Wye beckons travelers seeking tranquility and charm. It's no wonder that British Railways chose this gem of a town for their promotional campaign all those years ago. This print from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and the timeless appeal of Ross-on-W
