The London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) commissioned this stunning poster to entice travelers to Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear. The artwork, skillfully created by Frank Newbould, showcases a picturesque scene that epitomizes seaside charm. In the foreground, we see a woman adorned in an elegant white dress and an oversized sunhat perched on the promenade ledge. Her infectious smile exudes joy as she gazes up at a dashing man standing behind her. Their interaction suggests a carefree moment shared amidst the scenic beauty of Whitley Bay's sandy shores. The composition is further enhanced by vibrant beach huts lining the promenade, adding splashes of color against the backdrop of blue skies and sparkling waves. Newbould's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of fashion trends from that time period – capturing both elegance and style. Measuring an impressive 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this print not only serves as a nostalgic reminder but also pays homage to Newbould's exceptional talent as an artist. His contributions extended beyond LNER; he left his mark on various railway companies such as Great Western Railway (GWR), Orient Line, and Belgian Railways. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this remarkable piece invites us to embark on a journey through time – immersing ourselves
