Cunard White Star Line Art Deco Roquin
Original vintage travel advertising poster for Cunard White Star 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 stylised 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 in Paris. Very good condition restored light creases and minor paper loss on bottom margin.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
