Paris via Eurostar (Virgin Trains)
Sam JessupOriginal Virgin Trains travel poster advertising Paris via Eurostar, c. 2013. The design, by Sam Jessup, features a stylised Virgin express passenger train in the foreground, with a Eurostar train below a silhouette of the Paris skyline.
Virgin Trains' publicity team produced some of the best railway posters of the modern era. The streamlined, graphic, treatment evoked the 'golden age' of interwar rail travel in Britain, re imagined with a twenty-first century aesthetic. Although of recent manufacture, original copies are now hard to find.
