NACH NEW YORK / HAMBURG - AMERIKA LINIE. Circa 1932.

Etbauer worked extensively for the Hamburg Amerika Line. Here, he follows a visual trend set by A.M. Cassandre, who boldly featured funnels in his posters for the United States Lines (1928), the Statendam (1929) and the S.S. Cote d'Azur (1931). A variant of this poster, with a blue background, features the American flag behind the funnels. Weallans p. 104, MoMA 124.2003.
