Vintage boat poster

Posters for shipping companies have been very present throughout the history of advertising posters. Just like the train and the plane, the boat underwent exponential development at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century (only stopping during the Second World War).

Transatlantic liners have particularly marked people's minds with their grandeur and sumptuous luxury. In France, the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique remained a major company until the 1960s, providing crossings between France and the United States.
