EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant LNER poster from 1934-1935, created to entice travelers to the picturesque coastal town of Redcar in Yorkshire. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Dorothea Sharp, captures the essence of summer bliss with its depiction of a lively beach scene. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when parasols dotted the sandy shores and people reveled in the joys of seaside recreation. Women adorned in fashionable swimming costumes can be seen enjoying their leisurely moments under the warm sun, while children frolic playfully along the coast. Dorothea Sharp's talent shines through as she masterfully portrays both landscapes and figures using oil paints. Her artistic journey began at Regent Street Polytechnic and further flourished during her time spent studying art in Paris. Living between London and St Ives allowed her to draw inspiration from diverse surroundings, resulting in breathtaking works like this one. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into the social and economic life of that period. It serves as a reminder of how holidays were cherished escapes from daily routines – an opportunity for individuals to unwind amidst nature's beauty. Displayed proudly within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this piece is more than just a commercial advertisement; it is an exquisite representation of artistry intertwined with nostalgia for simpler times.
