The French Ports and Paris : British Railways : Southern Region : services and fares : 2 October 1960 - 27 May 1961 : artwork by Brian Rees
British Railways issued a series of similar annual leaflets giving details of Continental Services using the many and various cross-Channel and North Sea ferry services, many of which they operated. This is the Winter 1960/61 leaflet for services from London to the French coast and Paris via Dover/Folkestone - Calais, Dover - Dunkerque, Newhaven - Dieppe or Southampton - Havre from either London Victoria or Waterloo stations.
The cover is a wonderful evocation of the French capital, capturing lots of Parisian scenes, and is by artist and teacher Brian Rees (b.1930). Welsh born Rees was commissioned by British Railways for various items of publicity and was also repsonisble for many book cover designs.
