It is regarded as one of the most famous holiday advertisements of all time and is believed to have influenced the success of Skegness, the 'Fisherman' is now the mascot for Skegness and celebrated his 100th birthday in 2008. Skegness is SO bracing - A Donald McGill parody of the famous Jolly Fisherman poster created by artist John Hassall in 1908 for the Great Northern Railway (GNR). The popularity and influence of Japanese art at the time encouraged poster artists to experiment with negative space and this restraint in composition, combined with punchy colour schemes, led to posters that made an impact from a distance and could stand out in dirty, smog-filled cities or through the smoke of railway stations.In the 1840s, David Cox began to regularly visit Wales and, at the seaside town of Rhyl, painted numerous scenes in watercolour and oils (such as Rhyl Sands, above).

Colour lithograph poster showing a picture of a fisherman wearing a black hat, blue jumper, white breeches, and thigh-length Wellingtons. This ‘landscape’ version was created in 1928 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) company. This print captures the iconic "Skegness is so Bracing" postcard from 1908, featuring the renowned artwork by John Hassall. It has been repeatedly reproduced, reworked and parodied, and the Jolly Fisherman, featured in the poster, has become an icon of his hometown, Skegness.Another version produced as part of the LNER’s ongoing ‘It’s Quicker by Rail’ advertising campaign was created in 1908.
