SAIL WHITE EMPRESS TO EUROPE. 1950. 35x23 3/4 inches. Condition B+: restored losses in lower margin; restoration and creases in image An Art Deco style image of the Canadian Pacific's White Empress steamship in the style of posters by A. M. Cassandre. Despite its 1930s look, this poster is clearly post-war, as can be recognized by the "Canadian Pacific red-and-white-checkered houseflags which were painted on the sides of the ships' funnels" (Canadian Pacific p. 59), a feature of post World War II marketing by the company. Canadian Pacific p. 171.
