EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1959, when British Railways (BR) released a stunning poster promoting train services to the picturesque town of Dover in Kent. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Frederick Griffin, transports us to a world where adventure and relaxation await on the shores of this enchanting coastal destination. The poster captures the essence of Dover's natural beauty with its iconic white cliffs standing majestically against the backdrop of a serene sea. As our eyes wander across the image, we are drawn towards an array of boats gently bobbing in the crystal-clear waters below. The sight evokes feelings of tranquility and invites us to explore these inviting seaside beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see. Griffin's masterful graphic design effortlessly combines elements from both pastimes and sports popular during that era. It hints at endless possibilities for leisurely activities such as boating or simply basking under warm rays on sandy shores. This nostalgic snapshot reminds us of simpler times when railways were not just modes of transportation but also gateways to unforgettable experiences. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Britain's rich railway heritage and artistic prowess. Its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers today, transporting them back in time while igniting their imagination for future adventures along Britain's scenic coastlines.
