This print takes us back to the golden era of travel, showcasing a stunning GWR poster from 1923-1947. The image transports us to Torquay, known as the crown jewel of the English Riviera. With its picturesque promenade and pristine beach, this coastal paradise truly lives up to its reputation. The foreground is adorned with vibrant gardens, adding a touch of natural beauty to an already idyllic scene. Towering palm trees sway gently in the breeze, providing shade for those seeking respite from the sun's warm embrace. The azure sea stretches out before us, inviting visitors to take a refreshing dip or simply bask in its tranquil presence. Torquay was rightfully hailed as the capital of the English Riviera during this time period, and it's easy to see why. This poster captures all that made this resort town so desirable - luxurious resorts dotting the coastline, promising unforgettable holidays filled with relaxation and indulgence.
