Colour lithograph poster advertising 'Cailler's Genuine Swiss Milk Chocolate'.
The design shows a young Edwardian woman wearing a red coat, pale-brown leather gloves, frilled white blouse and a large black hat with red and white accessories. She is leaning from the open window of a door on a first class carriage of a London to Edinburgh train to buy some chocolate from a young boy who is holding a tray of gift-wrapped chocolate. A little girl further along the train waits with her hand held out, with another woman further along looking on. There is a guard with a suitcase in his hand near the front of the train, the steam engine in the distance. The design lettered with the text 'Cailler's Genuine Swiss Milk Chocolate, Ensuring a Pleasant Journey, Delicious. Nutritious'.
