Description
A poster, made for London Midland & Scottish Railway, advertising Lytham St Annes - a destination the railway can provide access to. The poster shows a large image of a young woman in a green dress stood on a wide beach, with her arms held aloft in what seems like a gesture of freedom. The sky is big and open, blue skies with white clouds floating past.
Curatorial note:
I chose to display this image in the exhibition 'Go as you Please' about disabled peoples experiences of rail travel because I think is portrays a sense of freedom that travel can offer if it made accessible for us - Amy Thraves-Connor, Curating for Change Fellow at the National Railway Museum
