SHEP (J.C.M. SHEPARD, 1892-?)

WHITE STAR POUR NEW YORK / [OLYMPIC]. Circa 1930s.


40x25 inches, 101 1/2x63 1/2 cm. The Baynard Press, [London].
Condition B+: small replaced losses, overpainting and repaired tears in margins and along vertical and horizontal folds.

One cannot help but think of Cassandre's 1931 poster Atlantique when viewing this bold, dramatic, Art Deco image of a White Star ocean liner, although it is uncertain which image came first. This is the French version. Commercial Art and Industry, May 1933, p. 189 (var), Art and Industry, June 1937 p. 233 (var).
