EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print takes us back to the 1950s, capturing the essence of a British seaside holiday. The poster was created by an unknown artist for British Railways (BR) Southern Region, enticing travelers to explore the charming coastal resorts of Hastings and St Leonards in East Sussex. The scene depicted in this artwork is filled with joy and excitement as a young family frolics in the sea. Their laughter echoes across the sandy beach while waves gently crash against their legs. Behind them, towering cliffs create a picturesque backdrop, adding a sense of grandeur to this idyllic setting. Measuring at an impressive 1270 mm x 1016 mm, this large-scale print immerses viewers into the carefree atmosphere of summer holidays gone by. Its vivid colors evoke memories of sun-kissed days spent building sandcastles and indulging in ice creams on warm afternoons. Although we may not know who exactly crafted this masterpiece, its timeless appeal speaks volumes about their talent. This poster serves as both a piece of art and a historical artifact, reminding us of an era when rail travel was synonymous with adventure and discovery. Preserved by the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this image invites us to step back in time and relish in the simple pleasures that await within these beloved coastal destinations: Hastings & St Leonards
