TOM PURVIS (188-1957) SCARBOROUGH BY L.N.E.R. Circa 1936. 40x25 inches, 101 1/2x63 1/2 cm. Chorley & Pickersgill Ltd., Leeds. Condition B+: sharp vertical and horizontal folds; minor tears and abrasions at edges. Paper. One in a series of six posters Purvis designed advertising travel to towns and seaside resorts along Britain's eastern coast. Robin Hoods Bay, Clacton-on-Sea, Skegness, Bamburgh, Lowestoft and Scarborough. The series is immediately recognizable as each boasts flourishes of architectural detail amidst broadly outlined landscapes in unexpected twilight colors. When viewed next to each other they form a continuous, albeit imaginary, strip of coast-line.
