Title: There is sunshine in the South
Date: 1930
Description: Here, the message is conveyed by the strength of colour and simplicty of design. No doubt the development of printing processes and colour printing helped this. The lettering is also very modern and angularly futuristic.
In this poster, the railway is symbolic of speed and change: the rapid transportation to sunshine. the train is the means of carrying the traveller away from the dark, cold city into a green, warm countryside.
