Poster advertising 'Cooks' Travel Bureaux featuring an illustration of a hand pointing at a globe. The hand, which is made of large, flat areas of orange, fills most of the poster, and points to a blue globe, marked with lines of longitude and latitude, which also represents the first 'O' in the word 'Cooks', which is printed in large grey letters at the top of the poster. Above this, printed in black is the rest of the slogan, 'you are always in touch with [Cooks]'. To the left of the image, in the lower part of the poster, is information about the company, and the artist's name 'Eckersley'.
