EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the nostalgic era of 1954, where British Railways (BR) sought to entice travelers with their enchanting poster promoting rail services to Whitby, Yorkshire. The picturesque coastal town comes alive in this artwork by Amstutz, showcasing its idyllic charm and natural beauty. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the stunning coastline stretching out before us. The golden sandy beaches beckon visitors to bask in the warm sunlight while enjoying the refreshing sea breeze. Delicate flowers add a vibrant splash of color along the seaside promenade, creating a delightful contrast against the deep blue hues of the ocean. Intriguingly, amidst this serene setting, donkeys can be spotted leisurely strolling along the beach. These gentle creatures have long been an integral part of Whitby's history and continue to captivate both young and old alike as they offer rides along the shore. The BR poster transports us back in time when train travel was not only practical but also an adventure filled with anticipation and discovery. It reminds us of simpler times when families would embark on memorable journeys together, exploring new destinations like Whitby. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a window into our past – a testament to British Railways' dedication in promoting unforgettable experiences through their rail services.
