A rare poster promoting day trips on the Southern Railway from Victoria to destinations in France and Belgium. A panoply of images, from the French currency and flag, to the Eiffel Tower, a chef, a baguette and champagne, the Pont du Gard, a woman weaving lace and more - each encompasses the sights and experiences to be had. The poster notes that no passport is needed and advertises the bonus of free meals.
