EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden age of rail travel, specifically to the year 1924. The poster, created by London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), serves as a delightful invitation to explore the stunning coastal town of Scarborough. With its picturesque cliffs, ancient castles in ruins, and breathtaking coastline, Scarborough is depicted as an idyllic destination waiting to be discovered. The artistic genius behind this masterpiece is Frank Newbould, a talented individual who studied at Bradford College of Art and later became associated with the War Office during World War II. Newbould's creative prowess extended beyond LNER; he also lent his skills to designing posters for other notable entities such as Great Western Railway (GWR), Orient Line, and Belgian Railways. Transporting us through time with its vintage charm, this print captures the essence of an era when rail travel was not just a means of transportation but an experience in itself. It reminds us that there was once a time when people embarked on journeys filled with anticipation and wonderment. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this remarkable image allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in promoting rail travel and the natural beauty that awaits those who venture towards Scarborough's enchanting shores.
