EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, a time when rail travel was at its peak and Harrogate, Yorkshire was an idyllic holiday destination. The poster, produced by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), aimed to entice travelers to explore the charming town of Harrogate. The artwork by Septimus E Scott beautifully captures the essence of a perfect summer day in Harrogate's Valley Gardens. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a scene filled with relaxation and tranquility. A couple sits comfortably in classic deck chairs, enjoying the warmth of the sun on their faces while surrounded by lush greenery. Scott's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays every element of this picturesque setting - from the vibrant flowers that adorn the gardens to the gently flowing water fountain in the distance. It is no wonder that visitors were drawn to Harrogate after seeing such an inviting depiction. Born in Sunderland and having studied at Royal College of Art, Scott's talent shines through not only in this LNER poster but also in his designs for London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS). His ability to capture moments like these and evoke a sense of wanderlust truly makes him one of Britain's most celebrated artists. As we admire this print from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, let it serve as a reminder of simpler times when rail travel offered adventure and discovery.
