This is an original vintage poster issued by the Southern Railway which operated in England from 1923 to 1947.
The poster promotes "Autumn In The Woods" together with a quote from a poem by William Wordsworth (1770–1850): "A noble horde, a brotherhood of venerable trees..".
Britain's Southern Railway began running electric trains in the early 1930s, with over 96 miles of track electrified by 1937 when regular electric service began.
Mounted on linen. In good condition, overpainting over tape marks in corners; repaired tears at edges; repaired pin holes in corners.
