Bon voyage! : travel posters of the Edwardian era

"This work contains examples of Edwardian travel posters. The posters are a form of social history, documenting the ways in which railway companies tried to attract the travelling public. In addition they should be of interest as examples of graphic design. Examples of work by artists such as John Hassal, Tom Browne and Norman Wilkinson are included, and the influence of French poster design is seen in the work of the Beggarstaff Brothers and Dudley Hardy."--Provided by the publisher.
