EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1923, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) commissioned a stunning poster showcasing Burntisland in Fife. The artwork, created by Frank H Mason, depicts a picturesque scene of the docks with railway sidings, coal hoists, and cranes bustling with activity. Standing tall in the background is none other than the iconic Forth Bridge, its majestic presence adding an air of grandeur to this industrial landscape. Mason's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush; he masterfully captures the essence of Burntisland's maritime heritage. The vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot from history and transport us back to a time when steam trains ruled these tracks. Printed by Ben Johnson & Co Ltd in York, this print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and technical craftsmanship. It showcases not only Mason's talent but also highlights the importance of railways during that era. As we gaze upon this image today, it offers us a glimpse into Scotland's rich industrial past while reminding us of how far transportation has come since then. This remarkable piece from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection truly encapsulates the beauty and significance of Burntisland within LNER's network - an enduring symbol of progress and innovation.
