@mikeyashworth.bsky.social![Tell India : publicity brochure : Indian Railways Publicity Bureaux : Indian State Railways : London : [1931] : cover by : Christopher Cavania Sanders : A rather fine large format illustrated brochure issued by the London office of the Publicity Bureaux of the Indian State Railways and giving details of advertising opportunities for companies and manufacturers across the estate of the Railways. This includes posters and enamel signs on stations and platforms, on structures and alongside the tracks, inside train carriages and in publications such as the various timetables and magazines issued by the Indian State Railways; the company points out the potential scale of the market coverage as the population of then "British" India, the colony, was 350,000,000 and the railway system had 8,400 stations. Figures quoted include the 339,303,700 passengers carried and the 300,000 employees who had access to staff magazines.
India was, states the brochure in the language of the time, Britain's greatest export market. The striking cover is by Christopher Cavania Sanders RA (1905 - 1991) a British artist and illustrator who was elected to the Royal Academy in 1961.
The cover is dominated by a a bold figure in greens and blues, right hand extended, against a vermillion red background that fades to a softer pink towards the lower edge. The title "Tell India" appears in capitals on a black band that sits on the lower edge and that merges with the lower right of the figure.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:yqh2atawixxlb6ncx2fh73r6/bafkreih4be3ajbh3qc2l3txit2vgqnw7pg6xeehkxmpc7c3tcam4vnpiji@jpeg)

@jmaris.meInsane how there is nobody to invest in the construction of Sleeper Cars for Night trains, despite their being a strong potential rental market, and yet billions are being spent on data centres with no profitable purpose.
