EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden age of travel, when steam ferries sailed gracefully across the picturesque Morecambe Bay. The London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) poster, created between 1923 and 1947, beautifully captures the essence of this idyllic coastal scene. In the foreground, we see the majestic Heysham steam ferry proudly navigating its way through the bay's tranquil waters. Surrounded by a myriad of small vessels – from yachts to sailing boats – it is a testament to the bustling maritime activity that once thrived in this region. The backdrop showcases nature's splendor as rolling hills provide a stunning contrast against the vastness of Morecambe Bay. Artist Norman Wilkinson masterfully brings this scene to life with his impeccable attention to detail and use of vibrant colors. Printed by Jordison & Co Ltd in London, this poster measures an impressive 1010mm x 1260mm. It serves as both a work of art and a nostalgic reminder of an era when these steamships were not just means of transportation but also symbols of leisure and recreation. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from NRM/Pictorial Collection at National Railway Museum, we are transported back in time - imagining ourselves aboard one of those ferries, embarking on an unforgettable journey filled with adventure and discovery along England's enchanting coastline.
