EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Southport" takes us back to the vibrant era of the 1930s when railway posters were a popular means of promoting tourism. Created by the talented artist Fortunino Matania, this particular piece showcases the charm and allure of Southport, a coastal town in England. The poster transports us to a bustling seaside resort, where crowds gather along the sandy shores under a radiant summer sun. The azure sea stretches out before them, inviting visitors to dip their toes into its refreshing waters. Matania's attention to detail is evident as he masterfully captures every aspect of this idyllic scene – from children building sandcastles to families enjoying leisurely strolls along the promenade. As we gaze at this artwork, we are reminded of an era when Southport was one of Cheshire Lines Railway's most sought-after destinations for holidaymakers seeking relaxation and fun-filled adventures. The poster serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when people eagerly awaited their annual vacations by train. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print not only celebrates Southport's natural beauty but also pays homage to Matania's artistic prowess. It stands as a testament to how railway posters played an integral role in enticing travelers towards unforgettable experiences and creating lasting memories. Let this enchanting image transport you back in time and inspire your own wanderlust for exploring charming coastal resorts like Southport.
