Over The Points : Jubilee Number 1935 : issued by the Southern Railway, London : back page and endpapers
For the 1935 Silver Jubilee of King George V and Queen Mary the Southern Railway issued a special edition of their "Over The Pints" quarterly magazine that was sent to First Class season ticket holders. As usual the issue's illustrations and decoration are designed by artist Victor Victor Reinganum (1907–1995) and the magazine is printed at the Curwen Press, Plaistow, London, so is of excellent quality. As can be seen elements of the design are in 'silver' for the occassion. The covers appear to use a mix of typefaces in use at Curwen and some lettering, possibly by Reinganum.
The back page and endpaper forms an advert for the very fine Silver Jubilee booklet "Thrice Welcome" that the railway issued, primarily as noted here for overseas visitors, most notably the North American market. It does not note it here but this little booklet, wonderfully produced again at the Curwen Press, has a series of small engravings by Eric Ravilious.
The end paper - and the book cover - use the same pattern paper that had been commissioned by the London furnishing company of Heal's for the Jubilee and produced for them by - Curwen. It appears the motif found wider use.
