Description

Rare original vintage travel advertising poster for Cunard White Star, the fastest Ocean Service in the World.

Stunning Art Deco style illustration of the two majestic flagship transatlantic ocean liners, the RMS Queen Mary and the RMS Queen Elizabeth, sailing towards the viewer at speed on the blue sea with the Chrysler Building skyscraper dominating the New York city view in the background below the stylized title.

The joint British shipping line Cunard-White Star Line Ltd was founded in 1934 (Cunard Line founded 1840, White Star Line founded 1845), and was bought out to become Cunard Line in 1949, the Queen Mary was launched in 1936 and retired in 1967 (now permanently moored in California), the Queen Elizabeth was launched in 1938 as the largest luxury ocean liner of the time and was retired in 1968.

The Art Deco style Chrysler Building was built in 1930 as the tallest building in the world (overtaken by the Empire State Building in 1931).

Printed by Nadal in Paris.

Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
