EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1946, when Great Western Railway (GWR) released a stunning poster to entice travelers to visit Tenby in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The poster showcases an exquisite aerial view of Tenby's North Beach, capturing its pristine beauty and inviting charm. The artwork was skillfully crafted by Ronald Lampitt, who masterfully depicted the idyllic seaside town with remarkable precision. The vibrant colors and intricate details transport viewers into this picturesque coastal haven. From the golden sands stretching along the shoreline to the crystal-clear waters reflecting shades of blue, every element exudes tranquility and serenity. What makes this particular poster even more special is that it was partly funded by Tenby itself. Demonstrating their pride for their beloved North Beach, Tenby contributed 75 percent of the cost to promote this slice of paradise on GWR's behalf. As we gaze upon this timeless image captured by NRM/Pictorial Collection from National Railway Museum, we can't help but be captivated by its allure. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when rail travel was not just a means of transportation but also an opportunity for exploration and discovery. Let this enchanting photograph transport you back in time and inspire your wanderlust as you imagine strolling along Tenby's North Beach, feeling the gentle sea breeze against your skin while basking in the natural beauty that has made this Welsh gem so renowned throughout history.
