EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden era of rail travel, specifically promoting Southern Railways' connection to the picturesque county of Cornwall. The year is 1947, and this stunning poster was created by renowned artist Norman Wilkinson, capturing the essence of North Cornwall's natural beauty. The scene depicted in this artwork showcases Pentire Head near Padstow, a breathtaking stretch of coastline known for its rugged cliffs and pristine beaches. As we gaze upon the image, a couple can be seen leisurely paddling by the rocks, immersing themselves in the tranquility that only Cornwall can offer. Printed by the esteemed Baynard Press in London, every detail within this poster exudes elegance and sophistication. From the vibrant colors that bring life to every element on display to Wilkinson's masterful brushstrokes that effortlessly capture nature's allure – it is truly a work of art. Transporting us back in time, this print not only serves as a reminder of Southern Railways' commitment to connecting people with beautiful destinations but also highlights how railway posters were once cherished pieces of art themselves. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, it stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with both travel and artistic expression.
