About the Item
Radiating warmth and optimism, this original 1955 travel poster for P&O Orient Lines is a perfect encapsulation of mid-century graphic charm and the golden age of luxury cruising. Created by British designer David Judd, the piece is a glowing invitation to escape into the open seas — where the sun always shines and “the one holiday that has everything” awaits.
A luminous palette of orange and yellow washes the entire scene in sunshine, drawing the viewer’s eye to the gleaming white cruise ship cutting across the horizon. The brushstroke-like treatment of the background gives the sense of radiant heat and shimmering waves, while the minimal yet elegant ship design adds balance and sophistication.
Judd’s modernist sensibility is on full display — bold typography, simplified forms, and a masterful use of color combine to elevate this from commercial travel poster to collectible art. The handwritten artist’s signature and stylized sun emblem subtly anchor the composition, adding a personal and timeless touch.
A quintessential artifact of 1950s travel culture, this poster is a vibrant celebration of post-war optimism, maritime luxury, and graphic excellence — an eye-catching addition to any collection of vintage transport or advertising art.
