EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print titled "Fairyland of the West, SR poster, 1924" we are transported back to a time when travel was an enchanting adventure. Produced for the Southern Railway (SR), this poster showcases the mesmerizing beauty of North Devon's coastline. The image depicts a breathtaking landscape that seems almost otherworldly. The rugged cliffs of Ilfracombe rise majestically from the sparkling sea below, creating a dramatic contrast against the serene sky above. The artist has skillfully captured every intricate detail of this coastal wonderland, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its ethereal charm. As we gaze upon this picturesque scene, it becomes evident why North Devon was often referred to as "Fairyland". Its natural splendor and untouched beauty evoke a sense of magic and wonderment. One can almost envision mythical creatures frolicking along these shores or hear whispers carried by gentle ocean breezes. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic talent behind it and the allure that once drew travelers to explore these idyllic landscapes. It reminds us that there is still much enchantment left in our world waiting to be discovered and cherished. Preserved by the National Railway Museum (NRM), this piece not only captures history but also invites us on an imaginative journey through time—a reminder that even within our modern lives, traces of fairylands still exist if we dare seek them out.
