The Metropolitan Railway, the first underground railway in the world (1863) sought to entice passengers out of the smog of London into the countryside that the railway passed through - and as they, uniquely, had land development powers, were determined to show people the advantages of suburban living in new homes using their railway services. Thus was born "Metroland" and this is the cover of the 1924 edition of the booklet they issued to promote it. Inside are described rural villages and hamlets that are now suburbs of London - thanks to the power of the company's advertising. The artist is Wilkinson.
