FRANK NEWBOULD (1887-1950) "THE SILVER JUBILEE." 1935. 30 1/2x20 inches, 77 1/2x51 cm. Baynard Press, London. Condition B-: expertly replaced top margin; restored losses and overpainting in margins and image; repaired tears, restoration and abrasions in image. The British answer to Cassandre's Nord Express and Ragan's The 20th Century Ltd., this is arguably one of the best Art Deco British train images. Throughout the 1920s, the LNER and LMS Railways competed with each other over who had the most prestigious train and who provided the most opulent service. The Royal Scot (LMS) and the Flying Scotsman (LNER) were top in their categories, but speed was never really an issue in their comparison. The Silver Jubilee, introduced in 1935, was, as the poster clearly states, "Britain's First Streamlime Train," with its speed proudly included in the text. Railway p. 25.
