About the artwork: Created in 1948 for British Railways, G. Bishop’s Torquay poster promoted the seaside town as part of the “English Riviera.” With its palm‑lined promenades, harbour views, and sun‑drenched pavilions, the design captured the optimism of post‑war leisure travel. Posters like this were central to Britain’s mid‑century tourism boom, presenting Torquay as a glamorous yet accessible escape — a place where modern rail travel could deliver holidaymakers straight to the coast.
