Description
Go by Rail! See Britain by Train! In the early twentieth century, British railway lines used catchy slogans and enticing artwork to attract riders. Facing heavy competition from automobiles and buses, the rail companies set out to increase ridership via advertising campaigns that appealed to tourists and locals alike. Accomplished illustratorsĀsome famous, others little knownĀwere hired to create posters that would spark the imagination and inspire travel throughout Great Britain. The resulting posters featured historic castles and charming rural settings, bustling cities and seaside resorts.
For your coloring pleasure, this book contains line drawings tracing twenty of these early British travel posters. The original full-color posters are shown as small pictures on the inside front and back covers. Maybe you've been to one or more of these places, or maybe you'll visit them someday. Which poster designs attract your attention the most? We've left blank pages at the end of the book so that you can design a poster of your ownĀperhaps a place of interest near where you live?
