Title - The Best Way To Paris - From The West Country And South Wales is via Southampton-Havre - Over-night Express Route.
Location - Southampton, Hampshire, England, Paris, France.
Artist - Kenneth Bromfield.
Description - This is a simple poster with a map at the top highlighting the largest population centres in the west, namely Newport, Exter, Bristol, Cardiff and Swansea. A big arrow across the channel between Southampton and Havre suggests that there is no need to travel all the way to Kent to cross to France. Below is a basic timetable, which shows that in this case an overnight sea crossing and an onward train connection enabled arrival in Paris for lunch.
