A two-funnel Canadian Pacific liner steams out of Liverpool harbor with the Royal Livery Building in the background. Rosenvinge was a prolific designer of posters for various shipping companies, including Royal Line, Anchor Donaldson Line, Allan Line, Elder Dempster Line and Orient Line, but his largest client was Cunard. This image also appears on a Canadian Pacific poster advertising travel to Canada and the U.S.A.
