EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage print captures the breathtaking beauty of The Trossachs, a picturesque region in Scotland.

The artwork, skillfully crafted by Tom Purvis, showcases a mesmerizing view of Ellens Isle and Loch Katrine. Purvis was not only an accomplished artist but also a passionate advocate for elevating the status of commercial art as a profession. In fact, he played a pivotal role in founding the Society of Industrial Artists in 1930, which aimed to enhance training standards for commercial artists and expand their employment opportunities. In recognition of his contributions to design and industry, Purvis became one of the first Royal Designers for Industry in 1936. His talent is evident in this piece that transports viewers into the heart of Scotland's natural wonders. With its serene lakes, majestic mountains, and idyllic landscape, this LNER poster invites travelers to embark on an unforgettable journey through The Trossachs.
