One sheet This artwork is an original vintage 1960s travel poster designed by artist Maurice Randall for the Union-Castle Line.
The vibrant, sun-drenched illustration captures the mid-century glamour of ocean travel on a cruise ship deck. It features a woman in a stylish striped swimsuit and a trained sea lion balancing a beach ball on its nose near a crowded lido deck swimming pool. The advertisement promotes the company's regular passenger liner services connecting the UK with South Africa, East Africa, Madeira, Las Palmas, and the Mediterranean.
The artist behind this iconic poster is Maurice Randall.
He was a prominent British commercial artist active during the mid-20th century. Randall was well-known for creating vibrant, stylish illustrations for major shipping lines, most notably the Union-Castle Line, capturing the optimism and luxury of post-war maritime travel. |
