Move to Osterley - 1920's poster for ruralization
This was one of many posters and other ads designed to lure people out of London to build or buy suburban houses. I love the way the smoke from the factories morphs into trees!
This relates to "The Forsyte Saga", since a central idea, Soames' building of a country mansion in Richmond, 12 miles from London, is actually part of a larger trend that Galsworthy wonders may be starting in the late 1880's.
