EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1933 LNER poster takes us back in time to an era of elegance and sophistication. The artwork, created by Reginald Edward Higgins, showcases the allure of traveling to the Continent via Harwich, Essex. In this picturesque scene, we are introduced to an impeccably dressed woman adorned in a stylish black dress. She exudes confidence as she returns from her shopping expedition in a Continental setting. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the beautifully crafted luggage boxes at her feet to the wallets clutched delicately in her hand. These items symbolize not only luxury but also the excitement of exploring new destinations. As we gaze into the background, we catch a glimpse of people leisurely sitting at tables outside a charming café. This adds depth and authenticity to the scene, transporting us mentally to that very moment. Higgins' artistic prowess shines through his ability to capture both realism and fantasy simultaneously. His use of colors and shading creates a sense of vibrancy that draws viewers into this enchanting world.
