This a rare piece! An original vintage ski poster issued by the Southern Railway! The poster depicts two women in fashionable ski outfits of the time. The train journeys must have been to the alps or Norway.
The Southern Railway operated a number of famous named trains, including the Brighton Belle, the Bournemouth Belle, the Golden Arrow and the Night Ferry (London - Paris and Brussels). The Southern Railway was nationalized in 1948, becoming the Southern Region of British Railways.
The poster has some issues. It's been stored under a stack of newspapers and the ink is visible on the poster. Water damage at left edge. Mounted on linen for preservation. Would look good on a wall.
Very rare!
