Shaw Savill Lines
One sheet vintage travel poster for the
Shaw Savill Lines shipping company, featuring their house flag and the slogan "The Flag That Circles the World".
Poster Details
Shipping Line: Shaw Savill Lines (or Shaw, Savill & Albion Line), a British company that historically facilitated trade and passenger transport primarily between Great Britain, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
Slogan: "The Flag That Circles the World," emphasizing their extensive global routes.
Artist: The artwork was designed by E. Waters (also cited as Walters).
Date: The poster is a vintage item, with similar print ads and posters dated to the mid-20th century, around the 1930s to 1950s.
The Flag
The flag depicted in the poster is the company's house flag, which is a variation of the United Tribes of New Zealand flag.
Design: It features a red St. George's cross on a white field. In the upper left canton is a smaller red St. George's cross, bordered in white (though sometimes historically depicted with a black border), on a blue background, with a white star in each of the four blue quarters.
Historical Significance: This flag was chosen by a gathering of M?ori chiefs in 1834 to be the first national flag of New Zealand, predating the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 when it was replaced by the Union Jack.
Company Adoption: Shaw Savill adopted this design as its house flag in 1858, a symbol of the close maritime heritage and trade links between Britain and New Zealand.
