EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print takes us back to the 1950s, a time when British Railways (BR) sought to entice travelers to the picturesque coastal town of Portsmouth and Southsea in Hampshire. The poster, skillfully crafted by artist Alan Durman, captures the essence of summer holidays with its charming depiction of a bathing belle. In this delightful scene, we see a young woman dressed in an elegant white swimming costume, perched gracefully on a diving board. Her legs are extended confidently as she prepares for a refreshing plunge into the crystal-clear waters below. The composition exudes joy and relaxation, inviting viewers to imagine themselves enjoying carefree days under the sun. Durman's artwork perfectly encapsulates the allure of Portsmouth and Southsea as idyllic holiday destinations. With their sandy beaches, historic landmarks, and bustling seaside atmosphere, these coastal towns offered an escape from everyday life for many city dwellers seeking respite. As we gaze upon this enchanting image from yesteryear preserved by the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we can't help but be transported back in time. It serves as both a testament to British Railways' promotional efforts during that era and a reminder of simpler times filled with sunshine-filled adventures at seaside resorts like Portsmouth and Southsea.
