The Golfing Girl : advert issued by the Caledonian Railway : in "Travel Notes" : booklet issued by the Southern Railway of England : 1923

A charming reproduction of a Caledonian Railway poster found in a small booklet/folder called "Travel Notes" issued by the Southern Railway to assist travellers to the Continent. The folder includes a pocket for travel documents as well as many pages of adverts.

 

The folder must have been issued just after the 1923 Grouping as although the main text refers to the Southern Railway, elsewhere it appears as the either still the South Eastern & Chatham Railway or the Southern Railway (S. E. & C. Section) as well as including adverts such as this for the Caledonian that would have been, by the time of printing, part of the London Midland & Scottish Railway. The poster is interesting in that is squarely aimed at a female audience for golf.
