EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1939, when the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) sought to entice travelers to the picturesque coastal town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire. The poster, skillfully designed by renowned artist Fred Taylor, showcases the idyllic charm and natural beauty that awaited visitors at this seaside retreat. Taylor's artistic prowess is evident in every brushstroke of this masterpiece. Known for his exceptional talent, he had previously been commissioned to create stunning ceiling paintings for Lloyds and murals for Reeds Lacquer Room. His work was highly regarded and exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Royal Academy. The poster captures Scarborough's allure perfectly - from its pristine beaches and vibrant promenades to its reputation as a spa town frequented by high society. It effortlessly transports viewers into a world where relaxation meets adventure. While not explicitly mentioned, it is worth noting that this print belongs to the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection. This evocative image serves as a testament to the power of art in promoting travel destinations during an era when train services were essential for exploration. As we gaze upon this timeless piece, we are reminded of Scarborough's enduring appeal and how railway posters like these played an integral role in shaping our perception of vacation spots across Britain.
