This stunning print captures the essence of Whitby, a charming resort and small port nestled on the picturesque coast of North Yorkshire. Produced in 1930 by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), this poster aims to promote rail travel to this idyllic destination. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Frank Newbould, transports viewers into a scene brimming with maritime beauty. In the foreground, lobster pots dot the landscape, serving as a reminder of Whitby's rich fishing heritage. As our gaze extends towards the horizon, we are greeted by an enchanting sight - fishing boats gracefully bobbing in the harbour waters. The town itself emerges from behind these vessels; its quaint buildings and historic charm beckoning visitors to explore its winding streets.

It serves as a testament to their commitment to preserving moments like these for generations to come. With every glance at this remarkable image, one can't help but be transported back in time - imagining themselves strolling along Whitby's shores or embarking on an adventure aboard one of those majestic sailing boats.
