The poster was specifically designed to promote rail services to Devon, showcasing the region's natural beauty and idyllic landscapes. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Cecil King, perfectly captures the essence of this picturesque destination. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn towards the meandering River Dart that gracefully winds its way through lush greenery. A charming paddle steamer glides along its tranquil waters, adding a touch of nostalgia and romance to the scene. Beyond the riverbanks lie rolling hills that stretch out into infinity, inviting exploration and adventure. The poster serves as a testament to BR's commitment in highlighting not only their rail services but also promoting tourism within Devon.
