Poster showing an idyllic English village scene with the caption: "The Underground Railway of London, knowing how many of their passengers are now engaged in important business in France and other parts of the world, send out this reminder of home. Thanks are due to George Clausen RA for the drawing." Below the drawing is a poem by Samuel Rogers (1863-1855), "A wish, mine be a cot beside the hill..."
