EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1937, when rail travel was at its peak and the Norfolk Broads were a sought-after destination for holidaymakers. The poster, produced by London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) and London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS), aimed to entice travelers with the promise of 200 miles of safe inland waterways. In this picturesque scene, we see vacationers aboard the motorcruiser Joy as they embark on an unforgettable floating holiday. The vibrant artwork by Arthur C Michael brings to life the beauty of the Broads, showcasing windmills dotting the landscape and boats gracefully gliding along tranquil waters. The poster's message is clear: escape from bustling city life and immerse yourself in nature's serenity for only £4 per week.
