EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning poster, designed by Albert Sebille for the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique (CGT) in the 1930s, showcases the elegance and allure of travel by sea aboard the French Line's transatlantic cruiser, Poster. The design transports us back in time to an era of luxury and glamour, as the ship cuts through the azure waves with grace and poise. The poster's vibrant colors and dynamic composition draw the eye to the ship's distinctive funnels, which tower above the deck and emit a trail of smoke, symbolizing the power and might of the vessel. The map in the background highlights the ship's transatlantic route, connecting Europe to the Americas, while the Pacific route is also indicated, emphasizing the far-reaching capabilities of the French Line. The poster's tagline, "La Mer est notre Maison" (The Sea is Our Home), encapsulates the sense of adventure and discovery that came with traveling by sea during this era. The image of the ship sailing towards the horizon, surrounded by the vast expanse of the ocean, evokes a sense of freedom and excitement that continues to captivate us today. Albert Sebille's design for the French Line's Poster is a testament to the golden age of ocean travel and the enduring allure of the sea. This poster is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into a time when travel was an adventure and the journey was just as important as the destination.
