One sheet vintage
Cunard Line travel advertisement for the Europe-America route, featuring an illustration of a four-funnel ocean liner, typically identified as the RMS Lusitania or RMS Mauretania.
Key Information
Artwork: The illustration is by artist Samuel John Milton Brown (1873-1965), and the posters were typically printed around 1914 or the 1920s. Another artist, Odin Rosenvinge, also created posters for Cunard's Aquitania, another four-funnel ship.
Ships: The Lusitania and Mauretania were sister ships and held the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossings in the early 20th century. They were icons of ocean travel known for their speed and luxury.
Purpose: These posters were a highly effective form of advertising for shipping companies, designed to promote the luxury and adventure of transatlantic travel. |
