National Railway Museum
The National Railway Museum in York is home to an exceptional archive of vintage railway posters. Emerging during the inter-war “golden age,” railway posters became a powerful tool for promoting travel, designed to capture attention and spark the imagination. Train operating companies used these artworks to inspire the idea of the quintessential British holiday, showcasing breath-taking coastlines, tranquil lochs, rolling hills, and rugged moors to entice travellers into exploring the country. These posters often depicted luxurious journeys, stylish couples, and happy families in awe-inspiring settings, all brought to life by talented artists. Railway posters remain timeless in their appeal, evoking a sense of adventure while reflecting the cultural, social, and industrial advancements of their era.
