Condition B+ / B: repaired tears at edges, some into image; replaced losses, creases and staining in margins. Framed. Not examined out of frame. Charles Shepherd, known as Shep, studied the art of stained glass windows under Paul Woodroffe. "Simplicity in design is enforced upon the worker in stained glass by the nature of his material, and it was this that produced that preference for simple outlines, bold masses, bright colours and emphatic style which in course of time were to characterize [Shep's] poster work" (Art and Industry, June, 1937, p. 228.) After World War One Shep began working under Herrick at the Baynard Press in London, and shortly thereafter became the head of the studio. He designed posters for the Southern Railway, British Rail and the Royal Mail Packet Steamship Company. "His Southern Railway Heraldic Maps convey the dignity of the great railway. In 'The Gateway of the World' . . . the decorative flags that seem to flutter, the items of decoration and the almost realistic ships, tell the story of the Railway's services in a decorative and colourful manner" (Art and Industry, June 1937, p. 233). Art and Industry, June 1937, p. 229.

Printed by Jordison and Co LTD London and Middlesbrough. British Railways (BR), which from 1965 traded as British Rail, was the state-owned company that operated most of the overground rail transport in Great Britain between 1948 and 1997. It was formed from the nationalisation of the "Big Four" British railway companies and lasted until the gradual privatisation of British Rail, in stages between 1994 and 1997. Originally a trading brand of the Railway Executive of the British Transport Commission, it became an independent statutory corporation in 1962 designated as the British Railways Board. After the grouping of 1923 under the Railways Act 1921, there were four large railway companies, each dominating its own geographic area: the Great Western Railway (GWR), the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) and the Southern Railway (SR). During World War I the railways were under state control, which continued until 1921. Complete nationalisation had been considered, and the Railways Act 1921 is sometimes considered as a precursor to that, but the concept was rejected. Nationalisation was subsequently carried out after World War II, under the Transport Act 1947. This Act made provision for the nationalisation of the network, as part of a policy of nationalising public services by Clement Attlee's Labour Government. British Railways came into existence as the business name of the Railway Executive of the British Transport Commission (BTC) on 1 January 1948 when it took over the assets of the Big Four.

The "Golden Arrow" Pullman.

The "Golden Arrow" Pullman. SHEP (Charles Shepherd, 1892-?) The Baynard Press, London Cond A. The Golden Arrow was introduced as a de-luxe train for its first-class Pullman passengers and ran between London and Paris. A special steamer, the SS Canterbury, was built to ferry passengers across the Channel . . . The Motorists Service was begun in 1931 using the Autocarrier. This was the first car-ferry to be operated by the Southern [Railway] and could carry 35 vehicles. The crossing took less than two hours but loading and unloading was a lengthy business. This was before the the days of drive-on/drive-off ferries, and cranes and slings had to be used (Railway Posters, p. 68). Shep's piercing promotion for the service has none of this idle time present, making the trip from Paris Nord to London Victoria appear to be a brisk, mellifluous experience. Which-loading and unloading aside-must've seemed like the case since the luxurious train was the first one to allow the passengers to spend practically the entire trip in the comfort of a lavish dining car, with aperitif, lunch and tea leisurely filling in the nearly-seven hour ride. Shep was head of the studio at Baynard Press, a prestigious London printing firm, where he designed posters mainly for the transportation industry: the Royal Mail Packet Steam Company, London Transport, the London Midland and Scottish Railway, the Southern Railway and others. 1931 24 3/4 x 39 3/4 in./63 x 100.8 cm
