EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, when rail travel was at its peak and Whitby, North Yorkshire, was a popular destination for holidaymakers. The poster, created by talented artist Austin Cooper for the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), beautifully captures the essence of this charming coastal town. In the foreground of the image, we see a white-haired man and a young boy standing on the harbourside. They are both engrossed in their shared passion for model ships, as they hold one up with pride. Their joyous expressions reflect the excitement that awaits visitors upon reaching Whitby's shores. The backdrop showcases Whitby Abbey perched atop a hill overlooking the harbor. Its majestic presence adds an air of history and grandeur to this picturesque scene.
