EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the picturesque Herne Bay on the Kent Coast. Produced in 1952 as a promotional poster for British Railways (Southern Region), it aimed to entice holidaymakers to this charming seaside destination. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Alan Durman, exudes a sense of joy and adventure. At the center of this image is a young girl in a stylish swimsuit, frozen mid-air as she jumps into the crystal-clear waters. Her carefree spirit epitomizes the excitement and freedom associated with summer vacations at coastal resorts. Surrounding her are sun-kissed beaches dotted with colorful beach huts, inviting visitors to bask in the warm rays or take refreshing dips. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to this idyllic scene. Leonard Ripley & Co Ltd's expert printing ensures that each hue pops vividly off the paper, transporting viewers back in time to an age when holidays were cherished moments filled with laughter and relaxation. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we can almost hear children's laughter echoing along the promenade and feel gentle sea breezes caressing our faces. It serves as both an exquisite piece of artistry and a precious memento of an era where Herne Bay was synonymous with family fun and unforgettable summer memories.
