EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Blackpool - Always Merry and Bright" transports us back in time to the golden era of British seaside holidays. The image showcases a stunning Midland Railway poster created between 1923 and 1947, designed to entice travelers to visit Blackpool for its gorgeous sights. In this picturesque scene, three elegantly dressed women are depicted sitting on railings along the pier, with the iconic Blackpool Tower standing tall in the background. They exude an air of sophistication and leisure as they enjoy their day by the sea. Each woman holds a parasol or umbrella, not only shielding themselves from the sun but also adding a touch of fashionable flair to their ensemble. The artwork by Wilton Williams beautifully captures the essence of Blackpool's vibrant atmosphere during that period. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate patterns on their dresses to the delicate folds of fabric on their parasols, every element adds depth and charm. Printed by McCaw, Stevvenson & Orr Ltd in London and Belfast, this print serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when Blackpool was synonymous with joyous holiday experiences. It evokes feelings of nostalgia and wanderlust while celebrating both artistry and railway history. Displayed within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into Britain's rich cultural heritage through its depiction of fashion trends, architectural landmarks like Blackpool Tower, and timeless seaside allure that continues to captivate generations even today.
