Ideal Sites for Factories - book/brochure issued by the Great Western Railway of England, 1936
Ah. The problems of printing on soft black card! Condition aside a fascinating and for the GWR, who had a tendency to be amongst the staidest of UK railways when it came to publicity, quite a rare outing into modernity. Sadly no designer or artist is given for this striking cover of very contemporary 1930s industrial sites against a locomotive at night, along with an airbrushed version of the company's logo. The GWR made great play of the new, lighter industries who were increasingly based in West London and the Thames Valley and that were often associated with their main lines.
