The Normandie, Champlain and Lafayette depicted in their full Art Deco glory. Their shadows in the wavy ocean are in fact the Eiffel Tower and Arc d'Triomphe. An exceptionally modern image in which the straight bold lines of striated colors in the sky are literally reflected, and complemented by the the waves in the water.
