One Sheet 25 x 40 vintage travel poster, titled "
To the Continent by Atlantic Liner," is a Southern Railway advertisement promoting sailings to Germany and Scandinavia by the Hamburg-American Line (HAPAG) and North German Lloyd. The poster dates from around the 1930s, a period when these German shipping companies rebuilt their fleets and the railway worked with steamship lines to promote European travel.
Poster Details
Companies Featured: The advertisement is a collaboration between Britain's Southern Railway and the major German transatlantic shipping enterprises, HAPAG and Norddeutscher Lloyd.
Destinations: It highlights regular sailings from Southampton, England, to the German ports of Bremen and Hamburg, with through tickets available to other principal German towns.
Date/Era: The poster likely dates to the 1930s. The two German lines merged in 1970, so the poster is from before this time. H.A. Walker, listed as the General Manager for Southern Railway, held the position around this period, with other posters featuring his name dating to the mid-1920s to early 1930s.
Artist: The artist for this specific poster is not explicitly mentioned in the search results, though prominent designers like Albert Fuss created many posters for HAPAG during the interwar years. |
