EDITORS COMMENTS
The East Coast is So Bracing! by James H. Thorpe captures the spirit of resilience and strength in the face of adversity during a dark period in British history. This pastiche of John Hassall's iconic "Skegness is so Bracing" poster has been reworked by Thorpe to reflect the coastal bombardment suffered by Britain in January 1915.
The original poster, created by Hassall, was a symbol of optimism and vitality, promoting the seaside town of Skegness as a refreshing and invigorating destination. However, Thorpe's adaptation takes on a more somber tone, acknowledging the harsh realities faced by Britain during World War I.
In this print, Thorpe pays homage to the bravery and fortitude of those who endured the coastal attacks with a sense of stoicism and determination. The juxtaposition of the familiar slogan with images of destruction serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime.
Through his reinterpretation, Thorpe invites viewers to reflect on the resilience of communities along the East Coast and their ability to find solace and strength amidst chaos. This historical piece serves as a testament to both the hardships faced by Britons during this tumultuous period and their unwavering resolve to persevere.
