EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1935 showcases the beloved British entertainer, Gracie Fields, in a delightful LNER poster promoting monthly return tickets to the stunning holiday destinations along Britain's East Coast. In this charming image, Gracie Fields is seen at the beach with two adorable toddlers by her side. The renowned comedienne and singer was born in Lancashire and rose to fame through her performances in revues and pantomimes, eventually becoming one of the most adored music-hall performers in the country. The artist behind this artwork remains unknown; however, their talent shines through as they capture Gracie Fields' infectious charm and warmth. With a radiant smile on her face, she exudes joy while enjoying a day out with these little ones against the backdrop of sandy shores and crashing waves. Gracie Fields' popularity among audiences earned her endearing nicknames such as "Our Gracie". Her presence in this LNER poster undoubtedly added an extra touch of allure for potential travelers considering exploring Britain's picturesque East Coast destinations. Preserved by the National Railway Museum, this print not only serves as a nostalgic reminder of past travel promotions but also offers a glimpse into an era when railway posters were considered works of art themselves. It stands as a testament to both Gracie Fields' enduring legacy and the timeless beauty that can be found along Britain's scenic coastlines.
