Construction Site by Terence Cuneo


Terence Cuneo was a famous illustrator whose work I'm always delighted to come across. Trained at the Slade, he was renowned for his railway subjects, and was appointed official painter to the Queen in 1953.

There are many examples of his work to be found in various compilations of railway posters of the SE of England. This image particularly appeals - the unorthadox angle gives a lot more interest to a complex subject and a great sense of intrusion.

Have a look at www.terencecuneo.co.uk for more examples of his work.
