EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Havens and Harbours" takes us back in time to the golden era of rail travel. Produced by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) between 1923 and 1947, this poster aimed to entice travelers to explore the picturesque havens and harbours served by their railway network. The focal point of the artwork is an exquisite illustration of Lowestoft Harbour in Suffolk. The scene depicts a ship gracefully moored alongside a jetty, with the bustling quay stretching into the background. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing artist Frank Henry Mason's mastery in capturing marine and coastal subjects. Mason's artistic prowess was influenced by his education at HMS Conway and his firsthand experience at sea. His deep understanding of engineering and shipbuilding shines through in this stunning piece. Notably, Mason also lent his creative talents to designing railway posters for other prominent companies such as North Eastern Railway (NER) and Great Western Railway (GWR). Measuring an impressive 1150mm x 665mm, this print transports viewers back to an era when rail travel was not only practical but also imbued with a sense of adventure. As we gaze upon this nostalgic image, we can almost hear the sounds of seagulls overhead and feel the gentle breeze coming off the water – beckoning us towards new horizons waiting just beyond those charming havens and harbours along LNER's route.
