[The National Archives, London - Oil on canvas, 51.3 x 61.5 cm]

I was never a railroad buff. Perhaps should have been, given that my grandfather and uncle on my father's side were railroad men. Maybe that is why, when I think of Terence Cuneo (1907-1996), a famous British illustrator and painter in his day, what comes to mind are his wartime, aircraft and automobile works rather than the railway paintings that seem to be what he is best remembered for. That memory was manifested in a statue of him placed in London's Waterloo Station a few years ago. No doubt some -- or even many -- readers are train fans. So with that in mind, I'm presenting examples of Cuneo's railway art. Some are simply portraits of famous locomotives, other works deal with various aspects of train travel. Information on Cuneo can be found on his Wikipedia entry, this post on Lines and Colors blog, and his daughter's comments here.

A modern railway at the heart of a modern industry - the picture that the BTC was pushing in this Cuneo illustration of the ICI Billingham Works on Teeside showing interchange sidings and a modern diesel loco preparing to haul afreight train away. The article notes that over 2m t of freight a year passed to and from the works. "Transport Age" was a magazine issued by the BTC showcasing the Modernisation Plan that was rapidly changing British Railways with massive investment - before the cash ran out and Dr Beeching arrived to sort it all out. Cuneo was very well known for his railway posters and artworks. Billingham Works was one of the jewels in the crown of ICI - the multi-national UK based chemical giant that was formed in 1926. It fell heir to the Works then under development by the major chemical company Brunner Mond who had acquired the site in 1920 from the UK Government's Ministry of Munitions who had initiated production, during WW1, of fixating ammonium nitrate - vital to the wartime output of explosives. Brunner Mond were intent on developing the site for the production of synthetic ammonia based on German technology - used for both fertilisers and the basis of high explosives - the works is still operational.

Terence Tenison Cuneo (London, November 1, 1907 - Esher, January 3, 1996) was a prolific English painter noted for his scenes of railways, horses and military actions. From 1954 his works included a small mouse, sometimes lifelike, sometimes cartoonish. These became his trademark after 1956. They can be difficult to detect, and many people enjoy scouring his paintings to find one. Even some of his portraits of the famous contain a mouse.

Terence Tenison Cuneo hailed from a family of artists and gained his formal art education at the Slade School of Art. Upon graduation, he earned jobs illustrating for books, magazines and other periodicals. With the onset of World War II, Cuneo got a position with the War Artist Advisory Committee, painting aircraft factories and various wartime events. The stunning detail with which he translated the brute strength of planes, tanks and machinery on canvas earned him commissions after the war for various train, roadway and bridge subjects. It wasn’t until Cuneo’s appointment as the official artist of Queen Elizabeth II coronation in 1953 that the artist gained world-wide attention. He continued to paint the Queen well into her reign, along with many other historical figures including Sir Winston Churchill. The most intriguing and whimsical aspect of Cuneo’s paintings is the inclusion of a tiny mouse hidden somewhere on the canvas. Whether cartoonish or realistic, the mouse is a trademark he added to many of his works, including those of even his most famous subjects. Cuneo earned many honors during his adventurous career, including being inducted into the Order of the British Empire (OBE) and the Royal Victorian Order (CVO). In commemoration of his extraordinary talent, a life-size bronze memorial statue of Cuneo resides in the main concourse at Waterloo Station in London, complete with a tiny mouse hiding at his feet. His alma mater, the Slade Art School, has created a scholarship in his name.
