EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Devon Trawlers" takes us back in time to the era of British Railways (BR) Western Region. Produced as part of a series promoting BR's services to industries, this particular poster showcases the picturesque view of trawlers in Devon. The artwork was skillfully crafted by Frank Henry Mason, a man with an impressive background that included education at HMS Conway and experience at sea. Mason's expertise in marine and coastal subjects shines through in this piece, capturing the essence of the bustling fishing industry during those years. With his involvement in engineering and shipbuilding, he brings a unique perspective to his artistry. His talent extended beyond painting as he also designed posters for various railway companies. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to the shores of Devon where these hardworking trawlers once sailed. The composition beautifully captures their graceful presence against a backdrop that exudes tranquility and natural beauty. The National Railway Museum has preserved this remarkable piece from their Pictorial Collection, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament not only to Mason's talent but also to the vital role railways played in connecting industries across Britain. Through this photo print, we are reminded of an era when railways were not just means of transportation but also agents fostering economic growth and cultural exchange throughout the nation.
