One sheet vintage travel poster is titled "Cunard to Canada" and was created by the artist Charles E. Turner around 1948. It advertises the Cunard Line's service to Canada, specifically mentioning the ships Franconia, Scythia, Samaria, and Ascania.
Poster Details
Artist: Charles Eddowes Turner (1883-1965), a British maritime artist.
Circa: 1948, though some sources list it as from the 1930s, as the ships mentioned were built in the early 1920s.
Subject: The poster features a striking illustration of a single-funnel Cunard ocean liner sailing toward the viewer in the foreground, with a smaller vessel in the background, set against a warm, dramatic sunset sky.
Ships Mentioned: The Franconia, Scythia, Samaria, and Ascania were all "Scythia-class" or "A-class" intermediate liners built for Cunard in the early 1920s. After World War II, the surviving ships were refitted and transferred to the Canadian service route. |
