The Cunard Line had three 4-funnel ships; the Lusitania and her sister Maurentania launched within 9 weeks of each other in 1907; and the Aquitania followed seven years later. On posters and postcards alike, Cunard would often advertise two sister ships by depicting only one image. Brown was primarily a maritime painter but he also designed posters for the Cunard Line as well as others for specific travel destinations. rare
