Let's take a vintage seaside tour through England during the glory days of travel by rail!In this book we travel the rails to many of the vintage romantic seaside resorts of England as depicted in period travel posters and color pictures.During the years before and after the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, travel posters, and in Great Britain especially, railway company posters were used to advertise the railways and the destinations they served.This period corresponded to the economically prosperous times of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras in which sensibilities, nationalism and leisure were emphasized among those who could afford such things, and later to the working class day-trippers.Written in brief historical references and a multitude of pictures and travel posters, this book will inform and delight you with vintage pictures and posters all in brilliant period color.Visit the author's website for more books:https://sites.google.com/site/jccookauthor/
