EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage LNER poster from 1938, promoting train services to the picturesque coastal town of Bridlington in North Yorkshire. The artist behind this stunning artwork is Septimus E Scott, a talented individual born in Sunderland and educated at the prestigious Royal College of Art. Known for his exceptional skills, Scott also designed posters for the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS). The poster itself exudes an air of nostalgia with its vibrant colors and charming depiction of seaside life in the 1930s. It captures the essence of Bridlington's allure as a popular holiday destination during that era. The image features worn men and women enjoying their personal lives on sandy beaches, surrounded by accessories synonymous with beach vacations. Intriguingly, some individuals are seen smoking cigarettes or using smoking equipment—a reflection of societal norms prevalent at that time. This detail adds another layer to understanding life in the 1930s. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also serves as a historical artifact showcasing how railway companies utilized visual media to promote travel destinations across Britain.
