Produced in the Edwardian era for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) — one of Britain's great pre-grouping railway companies, which served Sussex, Surrey, and South London before its merger into the Southern Railway in 1923 — this charming poster used the image of a confident country woman surveying the rolling Sussex landscape to convey the rural freshness and escape that the railway offered to London commuters and day-trippers. The illustration style — particularly the bold, simplified figure of the woman against a pastel landscape with a distant church spire and farmhand with horse — is characteristic of the best Edwardian British railway poster design, printed with distinction by Waterlow & Sons.
