This vintage original poster was issued by the Red Star Line shipping company of Belgium to advertise their transatlantic passenger service. The poster features the SS Westernland which was acquired by the Red Star Line in 1935 and operated by that company until 1939 when the ship was sold to the Holland America Line so thus a c.1935 date for this poster which isn’t otherwise dated. The lower margin indicates “Printed in Belgium” and “L. Gaudio, Anvers”.

This poster has a small tear of about a quarter inch without loss on the right edge and is otherwise in excellent, near perfect condition and looks like it was never used or hung. Overall condition is very good.
