The year come to England ; the home of history : leaflet issued by the Southern and Great Western Railways of England : nd [c.1930]
For publicity to the important North American and trans-Atlantic tourist trade several railway and steamship companies issued 'joint' publicity in an effort to either sell a combined 'product' or simply to lower costs. This is issued by the Southern and Great Western Railways who, on home turf, were normally rivals for the importnat West of England trade but here are jointly promoting 'the home of history' and the two important trans-Atlantic ports of Southampton (Southern) and Plymouth (GWR).
The leaflet is monochrome and folds out to a map, published by the Photochrom Co Ltd. You can make out the inscription "American Edition"; interestingly at two places in the text small paper stickers have been attached re-branding this for the Australian and New Zealand market giving details of Thomas Cook offices in both countries. The cover shows the Tower of London and London Bridge, framed by some odd hand lettering, boxed out.
