Hints for Holidays : 1935 edition : Southern Railway : London : 1935 : artwork by Horace Taylor : cover

            For many years railway companies expanded much energy on the production of handbooks giving details of the many locations they served and the holiday potential. This was especially the case for the Southern Railway of England whose network served the vast majority of the South Coast and large areas of South West England. 

The main "Hints for Holidays" is a vast publication, often coming in at just shy of 1000 pages and prior to about 1930 the Southern had also issued the various 'sections' separately. The book contains details as to destinations and the Southern's train services as well as numerous adverts for hotels, boarding houses and camping sites.

The stylish and simple cover is by Horace Taylor (1881 - 1934) a prolific artist and designer who was commissioned by many of the mainline railways and London Underground. This must have been one of his last works.
