The artwork was created to promote the shortest sea route between Fishguard and Rosslare, which served as a vital link to Southern Ireland. The poster exudes a sense of adventure and wanderlust, inviting travelers to embark on a remarkable journey through the stunning Irish landscapes. Cusden's masterful brushstrokes beautifully capture the essence of this picturesque route, enticing viewers with rolling green hills, rugged coastlines, and charming villages along the way.
