EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the golden era of travel, showcasing a stunning LMS poster promoting the idyllic coastal town of Portrush in Northern Ireland. Created between 1923 and 1947, this artwork was designed by the renowned marine painter Norman Wilkinson, known for his exceptional talent in capturing the beauty of seascapes. The poster's purpose was to entice holidaymakers to experience the charm and rejuvenating qualities of Portrush, which was hailed as Ireland's premier health and holiday resort. The image transports us to a picturesque beach framed by majestic cliffs that stand tall against the crashing waves of the sea. It is a scene that exudes tranquility and invites visitors to indulge in moments of relaxation amidst nature's wonders. Wilkinson's artistic expertise shines through as he masterfully portrays every detail with precision and finesse. His use of vibrant colors brings life to this vintage masterpiece, evoking a sense of wanderlust within viewers even after all these years. This remarkable piece not only serves as an exquisite representation of early 20th-century advertising but also stands as a testament to Wilkinson's contribution to railway companies' promotional campaigns. Preserved by the National Railway Museum, it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure and reminds us of an era when rail travel held great promise for unforgettable adventures.
