EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage poster from 1926, created by the talented artist Patrick Keely for Southern Railways. The poster was specifically designed to promote their Express Pullman service, enticing holidaymakers to visit the charming seaside resort of Deal on the picturesque Kent coastline. The artwork transports us back in time, capturing the essence of a bygone era when families eagerly flocked to enjoy sun-soaked vacations by the sea. In this idyllic scene, we see cheerful beachgoers frolicking in the crystal-clear waters and basking under the warm rays of sunshine. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring life to every element depicted - from children building sandcastles with infectious laughter filling the air, to elegantly dressed individuals strolling along the promenade. Keely's artistic prowess shines through as he masterfully captures both nostalgia and excitement within this single image. It serves as an invitation for all those seeking a delightful escape from city life or simply longing for a rejuvenating seaside getaway. Preserved meticulously at National Railway Museum (NRM), this remarkable print not only immortalizes Keely's talent but also pays homage to an era when railway posters played an integral role in promoting travel destinations across Britain. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece of history, it evokes feelings of wanderlust and reminds us that even today, there is something undeniably magical about exploring coastal treasures like Deal on our own terms.
