1931 poster by an unknown artist Londres - routes maritimes les plus courtes (London - the shortest sea routes). The routes shown are the usual suspects (Calais-Dover, Boulogne-Folkestone, Dieppe-Newhaven and Ostende-Dover) plus the night service Le Havre-Southampton. | ||

Interested parties are directed to the Southern Railway offices in rue Auber, Paris (to be expected), rue de la Régence, Brussels (natch) and place de la gare, Bale, which I can only assume is Basel in Switzerland, which is positively bizarre. The image is, I suspect, a symbolic mix of trooping the colour and the state opening of parliament. I can understand the US and French flags, and those of Commonwealth (or Empire) nations, but Japan? | ||||
