CUNARD HOLIDAYS. Circa 1935.

Condition B+: repaired tears at edges, some into upper text; replaced losses and expert overpainting in margins; minor creases in image.

A joyful, and detailed image of a Cunard liner leaving port. The decks of the ship are crowded with holiday revelers, and the docks with well-wishers seeing them off. The blank space at the bottom would have been used by local travel agents or ticket offices to fill in their own information.
