EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to 1923 when rail travel was at its peak. The London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) sought to entice holidaymakers to the picturesque seaside resort of North Berwick on Scotland's east coast, and this poster was their invitation. The artwork, skillfully created by Frank Newbould, showcases a scene that epitomizes leisurely enjoyment. A young woman in a fashionable bathing costume takes center stage as she pours tea from a thermos flask into cups for herself and her two companions. The trio is depicted reclining on the soft sand, basking in the sun's warm embrace. Beside them lies evidence of another popular pastime - golf. A man with his bag of clubs rests nearby, ready for an afternoon round on one of North Berwick's renowned courses. This idyllic image perfectly encapsulates the allure of this coastal destination: relaxation, camaraderie, and outdoor pursuits all rolled into one. Measuring an impressive 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this poster would have undoubtedly caught the attention of passersby at train stations across Britain. Today it serves as both a nostalgic reminder of simpler times and a testament to Newbould's artistic talent. As we gaze upon this piece from the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we are transported back in time to an era where rail travel opened up new horizons and beckoned adventure-seek
