EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print takes us back to the summer of 1957, when British Railways (BR) sought to entice holidaymakers with a unique experience on the Norfolk Broads. The poster, created by an unknown artist, captures the essence of this floating holiday adventure. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to a picturesque scene filled with excitement and leisure. Colorful flags flutter in the warm breeze while boats gracefully glide along tranquil waters. The sun-kissed sky reflects off sunglasses worn by happy vacationers who eagerly soak up their surroundings. The artwork transports us to a time where carefree days were spent exploring these enchanting waterways. It evokes feelings of joy and relaxation as families and friends come together for memorable adventures amidst nature's beauty. This poster was undoubtedly part of BR's efforts to promote tourism in Norfolk during that era. Its timeless appeal lies not only in its artistic execution but also in its ability to transport us back through time, allowing us a glimpse into an idyllic past. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a window into history—a testament to how travel advertising has evolved over decades while still captivating our imagination today.
