EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1934, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) sought to entice travelers with its East Coast rail route to Felixstowe. The poster, skillfully crafted by artist Arthur Michael, showcases a heartwarming scene of a grandfather and his granddaughter disembarking from a train at the picturesque seaside resort of Felixstowe. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are transported to an era where rail travel was not merely a means of transportation but also an experience filled with anticipation and adventure. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail in Michael's artwork bring life to the bustling platform as families eagerly await their arrival at this coastal paradise. The LNER's message is clear: "Felixstowe, its Quicker by Rail". With this slogan emblazoned across the poster, it aimed to highlight the convenience and efficiency of choosing their railway service for those seeking respite from city life. Whether it be for a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, Felixstowe beckons with promises of sun-soaked beaches and endless fun-filled days. This print serves as both a nostalgic reminder of simpler times and an invitation for modern-day adventurers to explore Felixstowe's rich history. It captures not only the excitement that accompanied train travel in yesteryears but also encapsulates cherished family moments that have been forever etched into our collective memory.
