EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1938, when rail travel was at its peak and Guernsey was a sought-after destination for holidaymakers. The poster, created by the talented artist Edmond Vaughan, was commissioned by both Great Western Railway (GWR) and Southern Railway (SR) to entice travelers to visit this picturesque island via Weymouth or Southampton. The image showcases a young couple standing on a hilltop overlooking the breathtaking bay and sandy beach below. They are dressed in fashionable day wear of that era, giving us a glimpse into the social and economic life during those times. As they gaze down onto the coast, one can almost feel their anticipation for an unforgettable seaside adventure. Guernsey's charm is beautifully captured in this artwork - from its idyllic coastline to its vibrant atmosphere filled with recreation and leisure activities. It serves as a reminder of how holidays were once cherished moments where people could escape from their daily routines and immerse themselves in nature's beauty. This print not only transports us back in time but also highlights the significance of railways in shaping our travel experiences. It stands as a testament to GWR and SR's commitment to providing exceptional journeys that connected people with remarkable destinations like Guernsey. Displayed proudly within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this piece invites viewers to step into history and imagine themselves embarking on an unforgettable journey towards sun-kissed shores.
