EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden era of travel, capturing the essence of leisure and adventure. The poster, produced by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) between 1923 and 1947, entices viewers to embark on a rail journey to the picturesque Scottish resort town of Dunbar. The artwork by Graham Simmons transports us to a serene outdoor pool surrounded by rugged rocks, where holiday-makers revel in the joyous freedom of swimming. The scene exudes an air of tranquility and relaxation, inviting travelers to escape from their daily routines and immerse themselves in nature's beauty. Printed with meticulous attention to detail by Ben Johnson & Co Ltd in York, this poster epitomizes the artistic brilliance that characterized railway advertising during its heyday. It serves as a testament not only to LNER's commitment to promoting rail travel but also as a work of art that captures the imagination. Dunbar itself is depicted as an idyllic destination offering more than just swimming pools; it promises lidos for sunbathing enthusiasts, golf courses for sports aficionados, and tennis courts for those seeking active recreation. This comprehensive portrayal highlights Dunbar's versatility as a vacation spot catering to diverse interests. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print stands as a timeless reminder of an era when railways were at the forefront of transportation innovation while simultaneously inspiring wanderlust among travelers across Britain.
