EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the bustling heart of Hull, Northern Yorkshire, in this evocative 1930s poster by Val Doone for The Travel Association. The image transports us back in time to the thriving port city on the shores of the Humber Estuary in Humberside. The Docks of Hull come alive with the hustle and bustle of import and export activity. Boats and ships of all sizes dot the water, their masts reaching towards the sky as they wait their turn to be unloaded or loaded with goods. Cranes tower overhead, their long arms extending to grasp containers and cargo, symbolizing the vital role Hull played in Britain's maritime trade during the 1930s. The sepia tones of the poster add to the historical feel, transporting us back to a bygone era. The coastline and the vast expanse of the sea in the background provide a sense of the raw power and beauty of nature, while the city's industrial might is showcased through the intricate details of the boats and cranes. Val Doone's masterful use of perspective and composition draws the viewer into the scene, inviting us to explore the vibrant and bustling world of Hull's Docks. This poster is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this northern port city, and a reminder of the important role it played in Britain's maritime heritage.
