EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the golden era of British Railways, specifically the Eastern Region. The poster, created between 1948 and 1965, showcases a mesmerizing artwork by Edward Wesson depicting North Landing in Flamborough, Yorkshire. As we gaze upon this picturesque scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to the breathtaking Flamborough cliffs that majestically overlook the rugged coastline. The artist's masterful brushstrokes flawlessly capture the sheer beauty and grandeur of this natural wonder. Intriguingly, a solitary boat gently bobs in the crystal-clear waters below while seagulls gracefully soar above. This idyllic coastal setting exudes tranquility and invites us to immerse ourselves in its serene ambiance. The inclusion of this stunning railway poster within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection is a testament to its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how art was utilized during that period to promote travel destinations accessible via British Railways. Through this evocative image, we can almost hear the distant whistle of trains traversing through Yorkshire's charming countryside en route to their final destination – perhaps even passing near Flamborough itself. This print not only captures an exquisite moment frozen in time but also encapsulates our collective nostalgia for simpler times when rail travel was at its zenith. It stands as a visual tribute to both Edward Wesson's artistic prowess and British Railways' commitment to showcasing Britain's most alluring landscapes.
