The combination of comedy and parody makes it impossible not to smile at this playful interpretation.

Utter the word ‘Skegness’ and many people will find it hard to resist interjecting, ‘is SO bracing’.

He is now the mascot for Skegness and celebrated his 100th birthday in 2008, and author, Bill Bryson, put the image on the front cover of his 2015 book, The Road to Little Dribbling.William Frith was more interested in painting modern life than landscapes, but his first big success, Life at the Seaside (Ramsgate Sands) (top) exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1854, is one of the greatest of British seaside paintings. The works of British poster king John Hassall remain a breath of fresh seaside air, says Lucinda Gosling. An early member and later President of the London Sketch Club, he founded the New Art School (later the Hassall School of Art), which he ran for twenty years. This blueprint for Jolly can also be found in an earlier book of 1902, The Round the World ABC, where a suspiciously familiar-looking sailor appears under ‘P for Penzance’.

This is a fine art digital reproduction of an image that has been copied or scanned in high resolution from an original source. Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years.It was pleasingly simple and surprisingly effective, a world away from the gaudy and faintly disreputable Blackpool we know and love. 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. The poster famously depicts a fisherman skipping along the beach, with the slogan “Skegness is SO bracing”.

In this hilarious parody of the iconic Jolly Fisherman poster, created by artist John Hassall in 1908 for the Great Northern Railway, we are transported to a seaside scene that is both whimsical and bracing.com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. The Jolly Fisherman, depicted in a jovial and lively manner, instantly captured the hearts of those seeking seaside adventures. Hassall’s now-famous Jolly Fisherman poster, coupled with the strapline “Skegness is SO bracing” promoted the first excursion to Scarborough from King’s Cross in London. Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out.

The seaside featured frequently in his humorous drawings for magazines and the many children’s picture books he illustrated, such as Our Diary: or Teddy and Me (1905), which features children in a boat with a rotund fisherman. Initially influenced by the great poster artists of Paris, such as Jules Chéret, Toulouse-Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha, Hassall soon established his place within a British school of poster artists alongside the likes of Dudley Hardy, Tom Browne, Cecil Aldin and the Beggarstaff Brothers.Turning off the personalized advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Teeming with detail and activity, the painting was eventually bought by Queen Victoria, who had fond memories of visiting Ramsgate with her mother between 1825 and 1836. One of the most famous railway posters ever printed, “Skegness Is So Bracing” was commissioned by Great Northern Railway.
