EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to 1947, when the Southern Railway commissioned this stunning poster to promote rail travel to the picturesque coastal town of Bude in Cornwall. The artwork, skillfully created by Herbert Alker Tripp, showcases his remarkable talent as an artist. Interestingly, Tripp had a distinguished career with New Scotland Yard before dedicating himself to painting during his spare time and after retirement. The poster exudes a sense of tranquility and charm, capturing the essence of Bude's beautiful beaches and coastline. As we gaze at the image, we can almost feel the gentle sea breeze on our faces and hear the distant calls of seagulls soaring above. A delightful touch is added by the presence of a playful dog frolicking along one of Bude's sandy shores. This canine companion embodies the joyous spirit that awaits visitors who choose to embark on a rail journey with Southern Railway. It is worth noting that Herbert Alker Tripp's artistic prowess extended beyond this particular piece; he also designed posters for Great Western Railway (GWR). In recognition of his contributions to art and design, Tripp was knighted in 1945 - an honor well-deserved for someone who has left such an indelible mark on British railway history. This print from National Railway Museum serves as both a nostalgic reminder of simpler times and an invitation to explore Bude's timeless beauty through train travel.
