The Compagnie de Navigation Fraissinet et Cyprien Fabre began operating in 1955, the merger of two smaller shipping companies. The General Mangin, Jean Mermoz and the Foch were three of the first ships to be transferred to the new company. This ambitious poster boasts an exotic mermaid and a dynamic map of the line's routes from Marseille through the Straits of Gibraltar and on to the West Coast of Africa.
