Commissioned by British Railways (BR) and Associated Humber Lines, it aims to promote regular freight and passenger services from Hull and Goole to various Continental ports including Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Copenhagen. The focal point of this artwork is a magnificent steamer vessel majestically docked in port. Its imposing presence symbolizes the power and efficiency of these transportation services that connected Britain with Europe's thriving cities. The ship's sleek design showcases the advancements made in maritime technology during that time. Rodmell skillfully captures the essence of adventure through his use of vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. The poster exudes a sense of excitement as it invites viewers to embark on a journey across "The Continent via Hull & Goole".
