"The psychological problem to be solved in the advertising of holidays is the discovery of what new thing people want to see, and the presentment thereof in its most attractive aspect" (Commercial Art and Industry, 1927, p. 16). Towards that end, this artist presents another interesting and memorable, colorful vista and intriguing impression of the Norwegian coastline. "The high standard of design in their publicity puts Orient Line in a class by itself" (Commercial Art and Industry, April, 1937).
