EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1962, when British Railways (BR) commissioned an unknown artist to create a stunning poster promoting train services to Paignton, Devon. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of this charming seaside town, nestled along the picturesque coast. Paignton's golden beaches stretch out before us, inviting us to bask in the warm sun and feel the sand between our toes. The vibrant blue waters glisten under a clear sky, promising refreshing dips and endless hours of seaside fun. Families frolic on the shore while children build sandcastles with boundless imagination. The poster exudes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era - one where train travel was not only practical but also imbued with an air of adventure and romance. It transports us back to a time when British society embraced these coastal getaways as cherished moments away from bustling city life. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece. It reminds us of simpler times when railway journeys were eagerly anticipated and destinations like Paignton held promises of idyllic summers spent by the sea. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported into that era - feeling the warmth on our skin, hearing laughter carried by gentle sea breezes, and experiencing firsthand why Paignton became such an iconic holiday destination during those halcyon days of British Railways in the 1960
