EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1959, where British Railways (BR) sought to entice travelers with their enchanting poster promoting train services to Broadstairs in Kent. The artwork, skillfully crafted by an unknown artist, captures the essence of this idyllic coastal town. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn towards a bustling beach scene filled with joy and laughter. Children can be seen building sandcastles and frolicking in the waves while couples stroll hand-in-hand along the shoreline. Families gather under colorful umbrellas, seeking respite from the sun's warm embrace. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the social and economic life of that era. Women elegantly dressed in fashionable swimsuits lounge on deck chairs, exuding sophistication amidst this seaside paradise. Meanwhile, men leisurely puff on cigarettes using vintage smoking equipment - a reminder of a time when such habits were more commonplace. Transported back to those carefree days of post-war Britain, one cannot help but feel nostalgic for simpler times spent enjoying holidays and recreation at Broadstairs' picturesque beaches. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both the spirit of adventure fostered by British Railways' travel promotions and the vibrant atmosphere that awaited visitors during those sunny summers. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a cherished memento capturing not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable piece of history from 1950s Britain's railway heritage
