EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic poster for the renowned exhibition "This Working Life: Tales from the Shipyard" at BFI Southbank in February 2011. The image itself is a testament to the rich heritage of British shipbuilding, as it features an iconic painting titled "Face of Britain: Shipyard" by Paul Rotha, dating back to 1935. The poster transports us back in time to Barrow-in-Furness, where the mighty S. S. Orion was being meticulously constructed. It serves as a powerful reminder of the incredible craftsmanship and dedication that went into building these colossal vessels during an era when shipbuilding was at its peak. With its monochrome tones and striking composition, this print exudes a sense of nostalgia and reverence for our industrial past.
