Southport, Englands Seaside Garden City, LMS poster, 1923-1947

London Midland & Scottish Railway poster. Artwork bys J Lamorna Birch (1869-1955). Birch was born in Cheshire, and sought industrial design work at the Lancashire cotton mills. He was self taught except for a period at the Atelier Colarossi, Paris, in 1895. He took the name Lamorna from the Cornish village to distinguish himself from another painter called Birch who, like himself, was working at Newlyn. Birch exhibited at the Fine Art Society from 1906 and at the Royal Society

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of Southport, England's Seaside Garden City during the golden era of 1923-1947. Created as a promotional poster by London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS), this artwork by J Lamorna Birch transports us to a picturesque coastal paradise. J Lamorna Birch, born in Cheshire and with a background in industrial design at Lancashire cotton mills, was a self-taught artist who honed his skills during his time at Atelier Colarossi in Paris. To distinguish himself from another painter named Birch working in Newlyn, he adopted the name Lamorna after the Cornish village. The image captures Southport's idyllic charm with its meticulously manicured parks, lush gardens, and majestic trees that line its pristine shores. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the essence of this seaside haven. Birch's talent shines through as he masterfully depicts Southport as an alluring destination for resorts and holidays. This print is not just about commercial use; it is a testament to Birch's artistic prowess and his ability to transport viewers into a world where tranquility meets natural splendor. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we are reminded of Southport's timeless allure – an oasis where one can escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in nature's embrace.
