With Cassandre's poster for the Normandie (see previous lot), the standard had been set for ocean liner advertising for years to come. Subsequently, stylized images of vessels seen from the front or at a three-quarter view were generated by artists around the world. These images, while borrowing heavily from the theme, added their own unique design elements such as the flag in this image. This is the smaller format.
