Folkestone 1950s Travel Poster, Reginald Montague Lander

This 1950s Folkestone British Railways travel poster is pure mid-century cool. Designed by Reginald Montague Lander, it turns the Kent coast into a sleek, sun-soaked vision of modern British leisure, with bold geometry, vivid colour and that unmistakable sense of post-war optimism. It is the kind of image that does far more than advertise a destination - it sells a lifestyle. 

Lander was one of the most accomplished British commercial artists of the period, admired for his polished draughtsmanship and flair for elegant, eye-catching design. His work for travel and advertising campaigns distilled places into stylish, aspirational images, balancing clarity with real graphic sophistication. That ability is on full display here, where Folkestone is reimagined not just as a seaside resort, but as a modern destination with glamour and energy.

Chic, collectible and full of wall appeal, this original Folkestone poster is a standout piece for anyone drawn to British seaside style, railwayana and classic modernist graphics. We simply love it.

This vintage poster was originally folded but has been professionally linen-backed and looks superb. It is sized 25 x 40 inches (plus a little more with the linen-backing) and will be sent rolled (unframed).
