Step On at Grimsby for the Continent - A Journey through Time and Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vintage print, produced in 1911 by the Great Central Railway (GCR), invites us to embark on a remarkable journey from the bustling port of Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, to the enchanting lands of The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Denmark. As we gaze upon this magnificent poster created by an unknown artist, we are transported back in time to an era when steamships ruled the seas. The focal point of this artwork is a majestic steamship gracefully departing from Grimsby's shores. Its billowing smokestacks symbolize adventure and discovery as it sets sail towards distant horizons. Upon arrival at its European destination, our eyes are drawn to a group of elegantly dressed women wearing traditional Dutch attire. They stand proudly on a map of the Continent with open arms extended in warm welcome. This masterpiece not only captures the allure of travel but also celebrates cultural diversity and unity across borders. It serves as a testament to GCR's commitment to connecting people and places through their extensive network of crossings. Preserved by the National Railway Museum with dimensions measuring 1016 mm x 1270 mm, this historic print continues to inspire wanderlust among viewers today. Step into history with "Step On at Grimsby for the Continent" where dreams take flight amidst lincolnshire saloons and grand steamships that once sailed these waters.
