Vintage Railroad Travel Poster
This is a reproduction of a travel poster titled "South for Sunshine" by the British artist Edmond Vaughan (1906-1996). The original poster was created circa 1929 for the Southern Railway, a British railway company, as part of their publicity campaigns to promote travel to the sunny south coast of the United Kingdom.
The artwork is a notable example of the Art Deco style popular at the time, featuring bold geometric shapes, a striking color palette, and stylized imagery of sunbeams and a bird in flight. The slogan "South for Sunshine" was a key part of the Southern Railway's branding, encouraging people to take a "winter sunshine" holiday via their rail and ferry services.
