EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1910s, showcasing a remarkable poster created by artist Guy Lipscombe for the London Brighton & Southcoast Railway. The vibrant artwork features an array of intriguing elements that beautifully capture the essence of Southsea. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to four majestic warships sailing gracefully on the sea, their spotlights illuminating the night sky. Among them stands HMS Victory, a symbol of British naval history and pride. As we explore further, we discover other iconic landmarks depicted in this masterpiece. The poster proudly showcases South Parade, a bustling promenade where locals and tourists alike gather to enjoy leisurely strolls along the coast. Adjacent to it is the municipal pier, extending its welcoming arms towards those seeking adventure or simply wishing to soak up breathtaking views of the ocean. Nestled amidst nature's embrace lies Horndean Woods, exuding tranquility and inviting visitors for peaceful walks through its enchanting trails. This idyllic woodland retreat offers respite from urban life while immersing one in nature's beauty. Through this print from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, we are transported back in time to an era when railway posters served as windows into distant destinations waiting to be explored. It serves as a testament not only to Lipscombe's artistic prowess but also highlights how railways played an integral role in promoting tourism and connecting people with extraordinary places like Southsea.
