The poster is signed by Eckersley.

The exhibit was held at Mostyn Art Gallery and had the sub title, 'How they bought the world to the Welsh Coast'. The text is in Welsh and English, in blocks next to one another giving details of the exhibit. The text is black. The image covers the total surface area and is a stylised coastline featuring a sandy beach, surf, headland [in the background], sea and a sailing boat in white. Colours used are mustard, white, dark blue and bright blue. No line has been drawn on the horizon and so the sea and sky appear as one continuous colour block. Measures, 59cm by 41.5cm.
