EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from the early 20th century. Titled "The Yorkshire Coast" this LNER poster, created between 1923 and 1947, transports us back to an era when railway travel was not only a means of transportation but also an avenue for exploration and adventure. Crafted by the talented Dame Laura Knight, a renowned artist of her time, this poster captures the essence of the picturesque Yorkshire coast. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail bring to life a scene that is both inviting and enchanting. As we gaze upon this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the sandy beach adorned with colorful beach balls. The sparkling blue sea stretches out towards the horizon while families frolic in its gentle waves. It evokes memories of carefree seaside holidays filled with laughter, sandcastles, and ice cream cones. The presence of a railway track in the foreground serves as a reminder that this idyllic coastal destination was easily accessible through LNER's efficient rail network. This poster undoubtedly played its part in enticing travelers from far and wide to embark on unforgettable journeys along England's northeastern coastline. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only Dame Laura Knight's artistic brilliance but also serves as a window into an era where railways were instrumental in shaping holiday experiences for generations past.
