EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1954, when British Railways (London Midlands Region) commissioned a stunning poster showcasing the picturesque beauty of Portstewart in Northern Ireland. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Kenneth Steel, transports us to this charming coastal town with its serene harbor and bustling boats gently swaying on the calm sea waters. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent hills that serve as a majestic backdrop to this idyllic scene. Their towering presence adds an air of grandeur and tranquility, perfectly complementing the peaceful atmosphere of Portstewart. As our eyes wander across the frame, we are drawn towards every minute detail captured by Steel's artistic vision - from the quaint harborside buildings to each meticulously depicted boat. Transport enthusiasts and art lovers alike will appreciate how this poster encapsulates both natural beauty and industrial marvels. It serves as a testament to British Railways' commitment to promoting regional tourism through their visually striking posters. This particular piece has found its way into National Railway Museum's collection due to its historical significance and exceptional craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can almost feel ourselves being transported back in time - breathing in fresh sea air while admiring nature's wonders alongside man-made marvels. It truly is a timeless snapshot that continues to captivate viewers with its charm and elegance even after all these years.
