This accordion-style promotional brochure for the Railway is complete with its original, though somewhat awkward to use, string ties. It features 48 pages filled with illustrations along the route including hotels, golf courses, golf course maps, boats, fish, and a double-page Map of Florida and the West Indies (6 x 11”). This lavish production is completed by decorative wrappers featuring oranges and the coat of arms for St. Augustine. Accompanying the brochure is a timetable for the same year.
