Created for British Railways to advertise their holiday guides, this poster lists several regional guides that were available. The artist is Abram Games, a well-known British graphic designer of the 20th century. Games's motto was "maximum meaning, minimum means," and this poster is a good example of his ability to convey a message using a simple yet powerful design. The "Holiday Haunts" guide series was a key part of British Railways' marketing efforts to promote tourism and encourage travel by train in the mid-20th century.
