The Flying Scotsman, 1928, by Greiwurth
This bold poster celebrating the Flying Scotsman service, created by the artist Greiwurth in 1928, captures the glamour and innovation of British rail travel in the early 20th century. The dynamic composition features the famous LNER locomotive steaming forward with vibrant shades of green, red, and white, symbolising speed and progress. The towering white pillars representing King's Cross and Edinburgh Waverley stations are emblazoned with the years 1862 and 1928, marking the origins of the rail service and its modernisation under the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER). The dramatic burst of stylised rays in the background heightens the sense of excitement and forward motion.
The Flying Scotsman became synonymous with luxury and punctuality, offering a seamless service between London and Edinburgh in just eight hours. Introduced in 1862, it was rebranded in 1924 by the LNER and was among the first trains to feature modern amenities such as a restaurant car. The iconic locomotive, which hauled the train, gained global recognition and remains a symbol of British engineering excellence.
We've carefully remastered this print to make it available for you to enjoy. Our restoration process is detailed and precise but, because this artwork was never created digitally and no original digital file exists, some slight imperfections may remain when viewed up close, including some slightly blurred edges. To preserve its quality, we only offer it in sizes up to A2. Please do check the final product photo carefully and ensure you're happy before purchasing.
