ALBERT KNAB (1870-1948) RIVIERA - DIENST. Circa 1914.

Many published accounts of this poster cite different dates, but pictured is the paddle steamer Prinzessin Heinrich, which only ran the Riviera Service for the Hamburg America Line in the winters between 1904 and the beginning of World War One, helping us to more definitively date this poster. In 1923, the ship was sold for scrap. This is the German version. DFP-III 1830, Riviera 16, Azur 25 (var).
