The intricately designed poster, a testament to the artistry of the era, transports us back in time as we take in the rich details.

Above the image, the title "The Great Ocean Catastrophe" is written in bold, ornate typography, evoking a sense of urgency and excitement. The poster also highlights the star-studded cast of the production, including Ernie Carter, Leno and Delmar, as well as the advanced technological innovations of the time, such as the aeroplane and the cupola.

The poster's textured background, with its subtle rose hue, and the intricate typography, add to the overall vintage aesthetic. This poster is a rare find for collectors of theatre memorabilia, maritime history, or early 20th century advertising.
