The poster, skillfully designed by Herbert Alker Tripp, transports us to a picturesque beach along the Cornish coast.

The sandy shoreline stretches out before us, framed by majestic cliffs and rugged rocks that stand as sentinels against the crashing waves. It is a place where time seems to slow down and worries melt away. Tripp's talent shines through in his ability to capture not only the physical landscape but also the essence of a carefree seaside getaway. We can almost feel the warmth of sun-kissed skin and hear laughter carried on gentle sea breezes.
