EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1930, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) sought to entice travelers to the picturesque town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland. The poster, skillfully created by artist Doris Zinkeisen, transports us to a dramatic scene from medieval times. In this artwork, we witness an intense moment in history as King Edward I (1239-1307) administers punishment upon the Countess of Buchan for her audacious act of crowning Robert the Bruce (1274-1329) at Scone in 1306. Suspended above ground within a cage, she endures her penalty while knights and men look on with solemn faces. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life and emotion into this historical tableau. Printed by Jarrold & Sons Ltd. , this large-scale poster measures an impressive 1014mm x 1272mm, allowing viewers to fully immerse themselves in its rich narrative. As we gaze upon this striking image, it serves as a reminder of how rail travel can transport us not only physically but also through time and space. It evokes curiosity about our past and ignites a desire for exploration. This railway poster is undoubtedly a work of art that captures both history's significance and the allure of Berwick-upon-Tweed's enchanting landscapes.
