EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the golden era of British Railways, specifically to the years between 1948 and 1965. The image showcases a vibrant and enticing poster created by F Donald Blake to promote rail travel to Skegness, a charming coastal town nestled in Lincolnshire. The artwork exudes a sense of nostalgia as it captures the essence of seaside holidays during this period. Two magnificent clock towers stand tall against the backdrop of a picturesque coastline, symbolizing both tradition and adventure awaiting those who choose to embark on this railway journey. The artist's skillful use of colors brings life to the scene; vivid blues reminiscent of clear skies and sparkling seas dominate the poster. The inviting sandy beach stretches out before us, promising endless hours of fun-filled activities under the sun. This piece serves as a reminder that British Railways played an integral role in connecting people with beloved holiday destinations like Skegness. It evokes memories of carefree summer days spent building sandcastles, strolling along promenades lined with souvenir shops, or indulging in traditional fish and chips at quaint seaside cafes. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only celebrates F Donald Blake's artistic talent but also pays homage to an era when rail travel was synonymous with exploration and leisurely adventures along Britain's beautiful coastlines.
