"The Forth [Rail] Bridge crosses the estuary of the River Forth in Scotland to connect the East coast route between London and Aberdeen. It was designed by Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker and opened by the Prince of Wales in 1890” (Railway Posters, p. 137). The designer, however, consigns the engineering marvel to background dressing for this LNER advertisement, opting instead to focus on the inspirational placidity of the river region just nine miles to the west of Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh. Wilkinson was a famous marine painter who also designed posters for the British railways, and organized the series by Royal Academy artists for the LMS railway in 1924.
