VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image features a vintage poster advertising the Epsom Races, specifically focusing on The Derby which was scheduled for Wednesday 31st May. The dates mentioned suggest that the event spanned from Tuesday 30th May to Friday 2nd June. It encourages travel by Southern Electric to either Epsom, Epsom Downs or Tottenham Corner and mentions frequent services available. The design of the poster is stylized with bold typography and a graphic representation of horse racing at the top, showing two jockeys on horses in mid-race. The colors are primarily red, white, green, and black with geometric shapes creating an Art Deco feel. There's also a suggestion to visit the course on Derby Sunday (28th May) with plenty of trains available as indicated by text at the bottom part of the poster. The logo "Southern" likely refers to Southern Railway which operated train services in South East England during that time period. The style suggests it could be from around the early-to-mid-20th century when railway companies often produced posters like this one to promote travel to events and destinations accessible by their services.
