EDITORS COMMENTS
Filey for the Family, LNER poster, c 1925: Step back in time and immerse yourself in the nostalgic charm of this vintage railway poster. Produced by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), it entices travelers to experience the idyllic North Yorkshire seaside resort of Filey. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Reginald Edward Higgins, captures a delightful scene on the beach. In this picturesque print, a happy family enjoys a day out on Filey's sandy shores. Children play gleefully in their bathing costumes while their parents relax nearby. The backdrop reveals charming bathing machines dotting the coastline – a reminder of an era when modesty was paramount during seaside excursions. Higgins' artistic talent shines through as he expertly portrays not only people but also their surroundings with great attention to detail. His training at prestigious art schools is evident in his ability to capture lifelike portraits and create aesthetically pleasing compositions. This image transports us back to an era where rail travel was not just about reaching your destination but also about experiencing new adventures and creating cherished memories with loved ones. It serves as a testament to both Higgins' skill as a painter and designer and LNER's commitment to promoting leisure travel. The National Railway Museum proudly preserves this remarkable piece from its Pictorial Collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of early 20th-century advertising artistry.
