EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print, titled "Milford Haven - Where Fish Comes From" takes us back to the enchanting era of the 1920s. Created as a promotional poster for the Great Western Railway (GWR), this masterpiece showcases the remarkable artwork of John Hassall. The scene depicted is none other than Milford Haven, a picturesque coastal town renowned for its thriving fishing industry. In this vibrant illustration, we are transported to a bustling seaside community where life revolves around the sea and its bountiful offerings. A group of cheerful fishermen can be seen returning from their fruitful expedition, their boats brimming with an abundant catch. Their weathered faces bear tales of countless adventures on treacherous waters. The heartwarming aspect of this image lies in the presence of children eagerly awaiting their fathers' return. These young boys stand at the water's edge, pipes in hand, emulating their role models with pride and anticipation gleaming in their eyes. The artist's attention to detail beautifully captures Milford Haven's idyllic charm – from the glistening waves crashing against rugged cliffs to seagulls soaring overhead amidst a clear blue sky. This nostalgic print serves as both an homage to hardworking fishermen and an invitation for travelers seeking solace by these tranquil shores. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this timeless piece transports us back in time while reminding us of Milford Haven's rich maritime heritage that continues to captivate hearts even today.
