EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden era of travel, showcasing a vintage LNER poster promoting train services to the picturesque seaside town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire. Created between 1923 and 1947 by London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), this artwork by E Oakdale captures the essence of a perfect summer holiday. The poster depicts Scarborough's stunning beaches, stretching as far as the eye can see along the rugged coastline. It transports us to an idyllic scene where families and friends enjoy their leisurely time under clear blue skies, basking in the warm sun and frolicking in the refreshing sea waters. The worn edges of this print hint at its cherished history, evoking memories of personal experiences from a time long gone. In this snapshot of social and economic life during holidays, we witness men and women dressed in fashionable attire for that period. Their relaxed postures reflect carefree moments spent on sandy shores, creating lasting memories with loved ones. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life or challenging times, there is always room for rejuvenation and joy found within nature's embrace. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only showcases remarkable artistry but also preserves an important piece of our cultural heritage—a testament to how railway companies played a pivotal role in shaping society's connection with beloved destinations like Scarborough.
