The Royal Route. . . to Broadland
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of leisure and recreation in the early 20th century. This stunning vintage poster, created between 1923 and 1935 by the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railways (M&GNR), invites viewers on a picturesque journey through Norfolk's renowned Sandringham Broads and Norfolk Broads. The scene depicted is one of tranquility and elegance, as yachts gracefully glide across calm waters under a clear blue sky. The vibrant colors used in this print evoke a sense of joy and relaxation, enticing travelers to embark on an unforgettable adventure along this royal route. This poster not only showcases the natural beauty of the area but also highlights its social significance. Boating was a popular pastime among both aristocrats and commoners during this era, symbolizing a shared desire for escape from bustling city life into nature's embrace. Preserved by the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this artwork serves as a testament to the golden age of railway travel when posters like these were essential tools for promoting destinations accessible via rail. It reminds us of an era when journeys were just as important as reaching one's destination – where anticipation mingled with excitement at every turn. "The Royal Route. . . to Broadland" transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine ourselves aboard those elegant vessels navigating through idyllic waterways. It encapsulates an era filled with dreams of exploration, relaxation, and connection with nature that still resonates today.
