EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden era of British Railways, specifically between 1948 and 1965. Produced as a promotional poster for BR, it beautifully showcases the breathtaking landscapes of Northumberland, enticing travelers to explore this enchanting region by rail. The focal point of the image is Seahouses, a picturesque coastal village nestled on the north coast of Northumberland. With its designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Seahouses exudes tranquility and natural splendor. The poster effortlessly captures this essence, displaying pristine beaches stretching along the coastline as far as the eye can see. The crystal-clear waters glisten under a radiant sun while small fishing boats gently sway in harmony with the waves. The artistic brilliance behind this masterpiece belongs to J G Fullerton, whose talent shines through every brushstroke. Fullerton's attention to detail brings life to every element within the frame - from meticulously depicting each harbor structure to expertly capturing light and shadow play across the landscape. Transporting viewers back in time, this print evokes a sense of nostalgia for those who remember traveling by train during that era. It serves as both a reminder and an invitation; reminding us of Britain's rich railway heritage while inviting us to embark on our own adventure through Northumberland's idyllic scenery. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this artwork stands not only as a testament to British Railways' marketing prowess but also as an enduring symbol of North
