Title - Camping Coaches - Provide Delightful And Inexpensive Holidays.
Artist - Barber.
Description - The top half of the poster is Barber's depiction of a family having a picnic outside a Camping Coach in an unspecified lush rural location.
The bottom half consists of black and white interior photographs of what were typical in the 1950s for use as Camping Coaches. Basically they were early wooden bodied railway carriages which had been withdrawn from use on trains many years earlier and were then permanently parked in sidings at stations in popular and scenic holiday areas. Families could rent them for their week's holidays for self catering, with the ability to use the basic facilities of the station nextdoor.
