EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the golden era of British Railways, specifically between 1948 and 1965. The poster was created to entice travelers to visit the picturesque coastal resort of Scarborough in Yorkshire. Renowned artist Frank Henry Mason, with his deep understanding of marine and coastal subjects, beautifully captured the essence of this charming town. Mason's artwork showcases an aerial view of Scarborough, revealing its stunning coastline dotted with pristine beaches and vibrant seaside towns. His attention to detail is evident as he masterfully portrays the idyllic atmosphere that awaited visitors at this popular holiday destination. Educated at HMS Conway and having spent considerable time at sea, Mason's connection with engineering and shipbuilding shines through in his design for this railway poster. His expertise allowed him to create a composition that not only highlighted Scarborough's natural beauty but also emphasized its accessibility by rail travel. As we gaze upon this historic image from the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we are transported back in time when train journeys were synonymous with adventure and discovery. This print serves as a nostalgic reminder of the allure that once surrounded British seaside resorts like Scarborough – destinations where families would flock for sun-soaked holidays filled with joyous memories.
