EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the post-war era, specifically after 1948, when British Railways (BR) sought to entice travelers to explore the picturesque South Downs along England's southern coast. The poster, skillfully crafted by artist Jack Merriott, showcases a breathtaking view of the idyllic countryside that awaits those who embark on this rail journey. The image captures the essence of tranquility and natural beauty that can be found in Sussex and Hampshire. Rolling hills stretch as far as the eye can see, blanketed with lush greenery and dotted with charming villages nestled amidst nature's embrace. It is an invitation to escape from bustling city life and immerse oneself in the serenity of rural landscapes. Beneath this stunning vista lies a small map detailing the routes between Victoria, London Bridge, and Waterloo Stations in London. This visual aid serves as a guide for potential day-trippers looking to venture into this enchanting region along the southern coast. Preserved within this print is not just a piece of art but also a glimpse into history—a testament to British Railways' efforts in promoting leisure travel during a time of recovery and rebuilding. As we admire this timeless masterpiece from NRM/Pictorial Collection at National Railway Museum, it reminds us of simpler times when train journeys were filled with anticipation and discovery; where every turn offered new vistas waiting to be explored.
