The poster heralds the beginning of a new era in Victorian travel, as the Great Western Railway (GWR) introduced its steamship service to these idyllic isles. The centerpiece of the poster is the majestic TSS Ibex, proudly leaving the picturesque Guernsey harbor. With Castle Cornet standing guard on the shore, the scene exudes an air of adventure and excitement. The Ibex, a testament to the engineering marvels of the time, was one of the first steamships to ply the waters between England and the Channel Islands. The intricate design of the poster reflects the opulence and elegance of the era, with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The poster's elaborate border, adorned with flourishing flowers and foliage, further emphasizes the allure of the islands and the journey to reach them.
