Title - See Britain by Train - British Railways.
Artist - Kenneth Bromfield (1919-2002).
Description - A wonderful stylised image centred on some oasthouses. At the left is the front of a train, with the tracks crossing the bottom of the poster. There are some neat haystacks, rolling green fields and hills, one complete with a small group of trees on top. As the poster is produced by the Southern Region, Kent may well be the basis of the design.
