Title: British Tourists

Vintage Belgian poster encouraging British tourists to visit Mons, the capital of the Hainaut region. The poster's text is written in French, a rather curious approach to attracting English tourists. 

"Visitez Mons. Capitale du Hainaut - ville d'art, d'enseignement et de musees. Ses vieux monuments des XIII, XV, et XVIII siecles. Ses champs de batailles historiques de 1914-1918 et 1940-1945.

(Visit Mons. Capital of Hainaut - city of art, education and museums. Its old monuments of the XIII, XV, and XVIII centuries. Its historic battlefields of 1914-1918 and 1940-1945.
