The Gothic Express

from £2.00

DESCRIPTION

The 'Gothic Express', a celebration of Whitby's steam heritage, was originally created as card no.  3 from the 'Moonlight Series', for the twice-yearly Whitby Goth weekend (WGW), one of the world's largest celebrations of all things Gothic.

The artwork is available as an A5 or A6 Greetings Card, an A4 print, mounted or unmounted and as a framed print. It works equally as well as a Gothic wall-hanging or stand-alone frame as well as an A5 or A6 Greetings Card. The card has been left blank inside and comes with a lilac or white envelope and protective cello bag. A small hand-written message in a Celtic calligraphy style can be added if you so desire; please indicate this in the 'Personalisation' section.

 

PRODUCTION

All cards and prints are printed locally at the Copyshop, which operates as part of the Southside Rehabilitation Association (SRA), a charity which helps in the rehabilitation of adults who are recovering from mental health issues. So each time you buy from WhitbyGothic, not only are you supporting a British artisan; you are also providing work for this client group. Thank you.

The protective cellophane bags are 100% recyclable.

WhitbyGothic packaging - cardboard and bubblewrap - is recycled; postage is included in the price.

Gothic Express

On the back of the card is a description of the story behind the image. The description reads as follows:

'The Whitby-Pickering Steam Railway is one of the gems of the North Yorkshire Moors and has featured in several films, 'Harry Potter' amongst others. The arrival of the Goth Express is also one of the highlights of the bi-annual Whitby Goth Weekend. Here I’ve placed it at an imaginary stop just beyond the impressive Larpool viaduct.

This is undoubtedly the route Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula would have taken when he holidayed in Whitby in the 1890's.'
