EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster, dating back to 1955, captures the allure and excitement of travel across The Continent via Hull & Goole. Created by renowned artist Harry Hudson Rodmell, this stunning print was produced for British Railways' North Eastern Region (NER) to promote their regular services for both cargo and passengers. The focal point of the poster is the majestic Fountains Abbey Associated Humber Lines steamer ship gracefully sailing through the open sea. Its elegant silhouette against a vibrant blue backdrop evokes a sense of adventure and wanderlust. The ship serves as a gateway to an array of captivating destinations including Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, and Copenhagen. With its meticulous attention to detail and vivid colors, Rodmell's artwork transports viewers into a world where possibilities are endless. This nostalgic piece not only showcases the beauty of Yorkshire's Hull and Goole but also highlights the region's vital role in connecting travelers with continental Europe. Preserved by the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an era when steamships were at their prime and travel was synonymous with elegance and grandeur. It serves as a reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, there is still something magical about embarking on an unforgettable journey across The Continent via Hull & Goole.
