EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant year of 1957, when British Railways (BR) commissioned this enchanting poster to entice travelers towards the picturesque town of Ilkley in Western Yorkshire. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Frank Sherwin, captures the essence of summer bliss and invites us into a world where leisurely train journeys lead to idyllic lidos, inviting swimming pools, thrilling water slides, and lush gardens. Transported through time by this image, we can almost feel the warm sun on our skin as we imagine ourselves strolling along Ilkley's charming streets. The poster beckons us with its vivid colors and promises an escape from everyday life into a realm filled with relaxation and enjoyment. As we gaze at this piece of history preserved within a photograph, it serves as a reminder not only of the beauty that once existed but also of how travel has evolved over time. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind such promotional materials and their role in shaping public perception. The National Railway Museum proudly presents this snapshot from their Pictorial Collection - a testament to Britain's rich railway heritage. Through images like these, we are transported back in time while simultaneously appreciating how far we have come. Let this print be an invitation for you to embark on your own journey through history and explore all that Ilkley had to offer during those golden years.
