Commissioned by Great Western Railway (GWR) and Southern Railway (SR), this 1946 poster was designed by the talented artist Frank Newbould. Newbould, a graduate of Bradford College of Art, brought his exceptional artistic skills to create this remarkable artwork. His passion for railway promotion led him to design posters not only for GWR but also for London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), Orient Line, and Belgian Railways. The poster itself serves as an invitation to explore the wonders that await in Plymouth. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, it transports viewers back in time while simultaneously igniting their curiosity about this historic destination.
