EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage LNER poster from 1928, promoting the scenic beauty of Cruden Bay in Scotland. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Frank Mason, transports viewers to this idyllic coastal destination. Mason's background in marine and coastal subjects shines through as he captures the essence of Cruden Bay with remarkable detail. The poster entices travelers to embark on a rail journey with LNER, promising an unforgettable experience amidst the bay's natural splendor. With its golden sandy beaches stretching along the coast and crystal-clear waters reflecting shades of blue, Cruden Bay emerges as a picturesque paradise. Mason's artistic prowess is evident in his ability to depict not only the breathtaking scenery but also elements of maritime life. Boats gently bobbing on the tranquil sea add depth and character to the composition, reminding viewers that this haven is not just about pristine shores but also offers opportunities for nautical adventures. Beyond his talent as an artist, Mason had diverse interests that extended beyond designing railway posters. His involvement in engineering and shipbuilding in Leeds and Hartlepool speaks volumes about his multifaceted career. Preserved by NRM/Pictorial Collection at National Railway Museum, this print serves as a testament to both Mason's artistic brilliance and LNER's commitment to showcasing Britain's most enchanting destinations through their promotional materials.
