EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print, titled "The Stour and Orwell" takes us back to the early 1930s when London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) was promoting their steamer and train ferry services from Harwich to various European destinations. The poster, designed by the talented artist Frank Mason, showcases the stunning rivers Stour and Orwell in all their picturesque glory. Mason's artistic expertise shines through as he captures the serene beauty of these waterways. With his background in marine subjects, it is no wonder that he perfectly depicts the tranquil flow of these rivers against a backdrop of lush greenery and charming coastal towns. Beyond his skills as an artist, Mason had a diverse career that included engineering and shipbuilding ventures. This multidimensional talent adds depth to his artwork, reflecting not only his artistic prowess but also his understanding of maritime infrastructure. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are transported to a time when travel by sea held an air of adventure and discovery. The poster invites us to embark on a journey from Harwich towards mesmerizing destinations such as The Hook of Holland, Flushing, Antwerp, Zeebrugge, and Esbjerg – each promising unique experiences across Belgium, Netherlands, and beyond.
