One sheet, Southern Electric
was a brand name used by the Southern Railway, which operated in England from 1923 to 1947, to promote its extensive suburban electric train network. This vintage poster is one of many that were created to advertise travel to various scenic locations accessible by the railway. The text at the bottom of the poster reads:
You can live in the country and still enjoy all the advantages of town life by making your home on the Southern Electric. There are cheap fares for men and women who travel regularly, and quick, clean, comfortable trains to town and back at all times.
SOUTHERN ELECTRIC
The poster shown is an advertisement for a country destination accessible via the Southern Electric system. Other similar vintage posters promoted destinations like Kew Gardens, the South Downs, and various towns in Surrey and Kent. |
