Lambart, who was a painter and a book illustrator, designed fewer than a dozen posters for the various
British railway companies in the 1920s and 30s. The majority of the posters advertised travel to beach
or seaside resorts, such as this locale on Scotland’s southeast coast. His images, all of which depict people
at leisure (as opposed to landscapes), are infused with a stylish, bright and happy Art Deco aesthetic.

“Part of a trio of paintings [Haslehurst] was commissioned to produce by Cecil Daindridge in the
mid 1930s, and surprisingly all three were accepted. As well as railway poster commissions, he also
undertook paintings for travel books” (Furness vol. 2 p. 58). Furness vol. 2 p. 58.
