EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1933, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) sought to entice travelers to the picturesque coastal resort of Withernsea in North Yorkshire. The poster, skillfully designed by Margaret Horder, showcases a delightful scene that captures the essence of seaside holidays. In this charming image, we see a young woman donning a stylish bathing costume and robe, cradling a small redheaded child in her arms. Their smiles radiate pure joy as they bask in the sun-drenched beach setting. The mother's carefree expression reflects the relaxation and tranquility that await visitors at Withernsea. The LNER aimed to highlight not only the natural beauty of this coastal gem but also its family-friendly atmosphere. By featuring an idyllic moment between mother and child, they emphasized how Withernsea was an ideal destination for creating cherished memories with loved ones. Measuring at 1016 mm x 635 mm, this print invites viewers into a bygone era where swimming costumes were fashionable and summers were spent building sandcastles on golden shores. It serves as both a nostalgic reminder of simpler times and an inspiration for future adventures along Britain's stunning coastline. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this artwork allows us to appreciate not just its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance in promoting rail travel during an era when exploration was eagerly embraced.
