This print takes us back to the enchanting year of 1960, when British Railways (BR) unveiled a remarkable poster showcasing the breathtaking beauty of Aberystwyth through the Rheidol Valley. Crafted by talented artist Johns Smith, this artwork effortlessly captures the essence of this picturesque region in Wales. The poster features three scenic views that transport us into a world where nature's splendor meets the marvels of rail travel. The first image reveals an awe-inspiring vista, with rolling hills and lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. A meandering river gracefully winds its way through this idyllic landscape, adding a touch of tranquility to the scene. In another view, we are treated to a glimpse of Aberystwyth itself—a charming town nestled amidst verdant hills and embraced by crystal-clear waters.
