This print takes us back to the year 1935, showcasing a remarkable poster produced by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER). The poster aims to entice travelers with an extravagant offer - the Harwich-Hook nightly service on three brand new luxury ships. These majestic vessels, Amsterdam, Prague, and Vienna, were touted as the largest in regular service between England and the Continent. The artwork by Frank Henry Mason brilliantly captures these magnificent ships from a unique perspective. Viewed in isolation and from below, their size is exaggerated to awe-inspiring proportions. Mason's background in engineering and shipbuilding shines through his meticulous attention to detail. Measuring at an impressive 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this poster commands attention with its grandeur. It serves as a testament to LNER's commitment to providing luxurious travel experiences for their esteemed clientele. Frank Henry Mason's talent for marine and coastal subjects truly comes alive in this masterpiece. His brushstrokes transport viewers into a world of opulence where they can almost feel the gentle sway of these mighty vessels cutting through ocean waves. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when travel was not just about reaching your destination but also about indulging in elegance and sophistication on board these magnificent luxury ships.
