EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1946, when Southern Railway (SR) sought to entice travelers with their sea services to the Continent on the Golden Arrow short sea route. The poster, skillfully crafted by renowned marine painter Norman Wilkinson, showcases a breathtaking view of TS Invicta departing from the bustling port of Dover in Kent. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn towards the majestic white cliffs of Dover that stand proudly in the background. Wilkinson's artistic prowess shines through as he masterfully captures every detail of this picturesque moment. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes bring life to the steamship as it embarks on its journey across the English Channel. It is no surprise that Wilkinson was chosen for this task, given his impressive portfolio designing posters for various railway companies throughout his career. The TS Invicta leaving Dover serves as a symbol of adventure and exploration, beckoning travelers to embark on an unforgettable voyage. This evocative image not only promotes SR's sea services but also encapsulates a sense of wonder and wanderlust that transcends time. Preserved within this print lies a piece of history – an exquisite blend of artistry and advertising ingenuity. It stands as a testament to both Wilkinson's talent and SR's commitment to providing exceptional travel experiences. Let us be transported back in time by gazing at this remarkable depiction – an enduring reminder of an era filled with dreams set sail amidst stunning natural beauty.
