One sheet original 1925 Art Deco railway poster designed by French artist Raymond Virac for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) to promote travel to the seaside resort of Thornton-Cleveleys. The poster features a signature Art Deco illustration depicting a mother in a colorful, geometric-patterned beach robe sitting next to her toddler on a sandy beach. It advertises Thornton-Cleveleys on the Lancashire Coast, positioned as a more peaceful and genteel neighbor to nearby Blackpool. The bottom text highlights "Cheap Tickets by LMS" and provides travel instructions via Blackpool, referencing the local Thornton-Cleveleys railway station. The Thornton-Cleveleys station featured in this advertisement was originally opened in 1865 but was permanently closed to passengers in 1970. |
