Les Iles Britanniques - Les Chemins de Fer Britanniques couverture de brochure : brochure cover, 1935
Selling a very traditional series of images of "Britain" this 1935 railway brochure, the castle, the village and the lion - feeling quite "English" in a way! No artist is given for this folder/brochure that was issued in a standard format of a single fold used by the main Briitsh railways at the time. It is for the Francophone Belgian market and so gives details of Channel crossings for both the Southern and London & North Eastern Railways ferry services.
"Les Chemins de Fer Britanniques" was the French translation for the "Associated British Railways", the umbrella marketing organisation for the "Big Four", the two mentioned above alongside the London Midland & Scottish Railway and the Great Western, and at times I have seen the title to include the Great Southern of Ireland and London Transport.
