This Windsor tea towel features artwork by Edward Pond (1929–2012), created in his distinctive late-20th-century graphic style. Best known for his celebrated Network SouthEast railway posters, Pond used bold, simplified forms and a confident colour palette to convey place with clarity and presence.
The design presents Windsor Castle rising above the River Thames, reduced to strong geometric shapes and layered blocks of colour. Deep blues, stone greys, and rich greens are offset by striking red accents, while the Union flag flying above the castle adds a quiet note of ceremony. The result is an image that feels both monumental and modern.
Originally created to promote rail travel, Edward Pond’s poster designs are now widely regarded as classics of British graphic design. This Windsor by Train tea towel brings that iconic poster aesthetic into the home, combining royal heritage with everyday practicality.
Printed on 100% cotton and handmade in Britain by our small family business, this tea towel is designed for regular kitchen use while preserving the strength and character of Pond’s original artwork.
