Description
A painting titled 'The Skegness Cure' by John Hassall, painted for a poster design for Great Northern Railway. It shows two figures, one man with a bandaged foot, pushing another man in a wicker wheelchair on a beach. Both figures are very animated. It appears as though, by visiting Skegness, the figure with the bandaged foot has been 'cured' of his ailment and has jumped out of his wheelchair, which his companion is now in.
