EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage print captures the essence of Bridlington, a charming coastal resort in Yorkshire, during its heyday in 1935. Created by renowned artist Septimus E Scott, who studied at the prestigious Royal College of Art, this poster was commissioned by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote rail travel to this idyllic destination. Measuring an impressive 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this artwork showcases the beauty and allure of Bridlington's beaches and promenades. The scene depicts a bustling seaside atmosphere with elegantly dressed women strolling along the coast. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, evoking a sense of nostalgia for times gone by. Scott's artistic talent shines through in his attention to detail and use of vibrant colors. He skillfully captures the charm and appeal that made Bridlington such a popular holiday spot for society elites during this period. Particularly notable is how Scott masterfully incorporates elements from post-war society into his composition without explicitly mentioning it. This subtle touch adds depth to the artwork as viewers can reflect on how people sought solace and enjoyment amidst challenging times. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as both a historical artifact and an exquisite piece of art. It transports us back to an era when rail travel was not only practical but also synonymous with adventure and exploration.
