Step into the world of "compagnie" and embark on a journey through time. This captivating poster advertising China Tea transports us to an era when travel was an art form, and the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique reigned supreme. From Paris, Paris all the way to New York, their flagship vessel SS Normandie epitomized luxury and elegance. Ocean liners were not just modes of transportation; they were floating palaces filled with opulent treasures. A collection of items including share certificates reminds us of the grandeur that surrounded these majestic ships. But it wasn't just transatlantic voyages that captured our imagination. Another poster beckons us to explore beyond Europe's borders - from Paris to Marseille to North Africa by rail and sea. The CGT offered exotic adventures, opening up new horizons for intrepid travelers. Le Havre became a gateway to dreams as May sailing dates promised unforgettable experiences aboard French ocean liners. Share certificates serve as tangible reminders of those who invested in this extraordinary voyage. Venturing further east, we find ourselves at the Ferry Boat and Suez Canal Company office in Port Said, Egypt. Here, amidst bustling activity, plans were made for traversing one of mankind's greatest engineering marvels - the Suez Canal. The De Lesseps statue stands tall at the entrance of this iconic waterway, symbolizing human triumph over nature's obstacles. Nearby is another office belonging to the Suez Canal Company in Ismailia – a testament to its enduring legacy. In these glimpses into history, we are transported back in time when "compagnie" represented more than just a company; it embodied adventure, sophistication, and boundless possibilities waiting to be explored.
