EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting coastal town of Whitby in 1958, as captured by an unknown artist commissioned by British Railways (BR). The poster was created with the sole purpose of promoting rail services to this gem on the Yorkshire Coast. The artwork beautifully depicts a picturesque scene, showcasing Whitby's irresistible charm and natural beauty. Nestled between rolling hills and overlooking a serene sea, this quaint seaside destination is truly a sight to behold. The vibrant colors used in the poster bring life to its iconic landmarks; from the majestic ruins of Whitby Abbey perched atop East Cliff, to the bustling harbor where fishing boats bob gently on calm waters. As we gaze upon this vintage masterpiece, it transports us back in time when holidays were synonymous with sandy beaches, refreshing sea breezes, and carefree moments spent exploring charming towns like Whitby. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when railways played an integral role in connecting people with these idyllic destinations. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only captures our imagination but also preserves a piece of history that continues to inspire wanderlust for those seeking coastal adventures along Britain's stunning coastline.
