EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1910, when rail travel was at its peak and Blackpool, Lancashire was a popular destination for holidaymakers. The poster, produced by the Great Central Railway (GCR), aimed to entice travelers with its picturesque depiction of this coastal town. In this cropped version of the original artwork by Wilton Williams, we see three elegantly dressed women basking in the sunshine on a railing overlooking the sea. Their radiant smiles and stylish attire reflect an era of sophistication and leisurely pursuits. Each woman holds a parasol to shield themselves from the sun's rays while donning fashionable sun hats that add an extra touch of elegance. The artist has skillfully captured not only their beauty but also their joyous spirit as they enjoy their time in Blackpool. The vibrant colors used in this print further enhance the cheerful atmosphere depicted within it. With dimensions measuring 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Williams' masterpiece. It serves as a testament to both his artistic talent and GCR's commitment to promoting rail travel during that era. As we gaze upon this historical gem from National Railway Museum, we can't help but be transported back in time and imagine ourselves strolling along Blackpool's promenade alongside these charming ladies, embracing all that this enchanting seaside resort had to offer.
