24x36 inches, 61x91 1/2 cm. Condition A / A-: minor creases and abrasions in corners; mounted on thick paper, as issued.
One in a series of seven posters that were designed by contemporary artists to hang in the staterooms of the SS Norway. That ship began life as the SS France and sailed for the French Line from 1961 until 1979, when she was sold to the Norwegian Cruise Line, refitted and renamed. The new owners had these posters commissioned as a tribute to the historic vessel's illustrious past (among other things, it was the SS France that carried the Mona Lisa in 1962 when the painting went on an American tour). The posters in this series each graphically harken back to an earlier era.
