DESIGNER UNKNOWN 'ROUND THE WORLD CRUISES / AMERICAN PRESIDENT LINES. 40x281/4 inches. Condition A: minor repaired tears and creases in top and right margins. The American President Lines was named in 1938 when the U.S. Government assumed control of the financially precarious Dollar Line. The name was based on the fact that all ships in the company's fleet were named after Presidents. Although unsigned, this progressive image bears the mark of an accomplished designer, with its schematic rendering of the ship and globe and the flags of the world, which are casting shadows on the background.
