Holland - America Line / Rotterdam - New York. 1928.
Lithograph poster. 116¾x76¼ cm, 46x30 inches; L. Van Leer & Co., Amsterdam.

A head-on view of the American northeast (stretching out behind the Statue of Liberty as far west as Chicago and as far south as Philadelphia), seen in exaggerated perspective as if from the deck of an arriving ocean liner. The Volendam sailed the Rotterdam-New York route from its maiden voyage in 1922 until its final run back to Rotterdam in 1951, with a brief hiatus as a British troop ship during World War II.
