The knight immediately suggests mediaeval romance … it [Carlisle] is rather an emblem suggesting geographically the entrance to a highland region of natural beauty, and historically an avenue of approach to great realms of glorious and romantic history. This is the artist’s point of view, and these are the suggestions his picture will excite in minds suitably attuned.

The LMS aimed to form a distinct identity through this campaign by aligning themselves with what Norman Wilkinson described as ‘all that is good and best in British Art’. The use of fine artists for commercial purposes was seen by some as a useful tool for improving public taste by taking academic art on to the hoardings. The original artworks for the LMS posters were also shown in galleries up and down the country and abroad, illustrating their wide appeal.
