EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print captures the essence of travel in the early 20th century. The poster, produced by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) between 1923 and 1930, promotes rail links to Europe from the charming Essex seaport of Harwich. Renowned artist Tom Purvis beautifully depicts a bustling continental cafe-bar setting, where fashionably dressed men and women indulge in leisurely activities. In this scene, we see individuals engrossed in their own pursuits - some are immersed in reading material while others engage in lively conversations over drinks. The atmosphere exudes sophistication as patrons enjoy their time amidst elegant surroundings. This artwork transports us back to an era when train travel was not only a means of transportation but also an experience filled with luxury and pleasure. The LNER's promotion of rail links from Harwich highlights its commitment to connecting people with exciting destinations across Europe. With this poster, they aimed to entice travelers with the allure of exploring foreign lands accessible through their railway network. Preserved by the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print serves as a visual reminder of an era long gone but fondly remembered. It encapsulates both the glamour associated with European travel during that time period and showcases Tom Purvis' artistic brilliance in capturing such moments for eternity.
