"The next best thing to a journey in the carriages themselves"
[Railway Magazine]
Many passengers can still remember the days when their journeys were enhanced by the framed pictures, advertisements and maps that kept them company in their railway compartments. In the mid-20th century the railway companies used artwork from over 60 leading watercolour and railway poster artists of the era. These included Rowland Hilder, Jack Merriott, Frank H Mason, Leonard Squirrell, James McIntosh Patrick, Henry Rushbury and Claude Buckle, who produced landscapes of Britain to be displayed in their trains as railway carriage prints.
Many of the original carriage prints are now very scarce and numerous people, including preservation societies, art lovers, interior décor designers and fans of a nostalgic and bygone Britain, have requested that images from the Greg Norden Collection be made available to a wider audience, hence the setting up of the Travelling Art Gallery.
Each print has Boris the spider hiding in the image - see if you can find him!
