EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden era of seaside holidays in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Produced for the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), this poster beautifully captures the essence of a summer getaway by showcasing holiday-makers enjoying themselves on the promenade and beach. Scarborough, once an old fishing port and spa town, transformed into a thriving coastal resort that attracted tourists from far and wide. The town's rich history is evident with its 12th-century castle ruins and a Roman signal station perched on Castle Cliff between North Bay and South Bay. The artwork by Arthur C Michael transports us to a time when families flocked to Scarborough's sandy shores seeking relaxation, fun, and adventure. The image depicts sun-kissed beaches dotted with colorful umbrellas as children build sandcastles while their parents bask in the warm sunshine. As we gaze at this nostalgic scene, we can almost hear the joyful laughter echoing through the air as holidaymakers indulge in ice creams or take leisurely strolls along the bustling promenade. This print serves as a reminder of simpler times when vacations were cherished moments spent reconnecting with loved ones amidst nature's beauty. Preserved in National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only showcases Scarborough's allure but also pays homage to LNER’s role in promoting these idyllic coastal resorts. It serves as an invitation for us to step back in time and experience firsthand why Scarborough has remained one of Britain’s most beloved seaside destinations throughout
