About the Item
This elegant travel poster from the early 1930s was created for the Cunard White Star Line, promoting its cruises to the so-called New World Rivieras—a collection of warm, sunlit destinations in the Americas. These included Nassau, Florida, Bermuda, Jamaica, and California, which were marketed to European travelers as ideal winter escapes.
The slogan “New Ways to Winter Sunshine” reflects a key strategy of cruise companies during the interwar period: transforming the idea of winter travel into one of indulgence and comfort, far from the cold climates of northern Europe. Cunard White Star offered not only transportation, but an experience—luxury voyages aboard some of the era’s most prestigious ocean liners.
The Cunard White Star Line was officially formed in 1934 through the merger of two transatlantic rivals: the Cunard Line and the White Star Line. However, promotional material under this branding also appeared in the early 1930s, leading up to the official unification. The merger combined the legacy of two great names in passenger shipping, positioning Cunard White Star as a dominant force in transatlantic and leisure cruising.
This poster by Jarvis, designed during a golden age of ocean travel, is a powerful example of how transportation companies used bold messaging and strategic branding to inspire a generation of travelers. It captures the spirit of a time when exploring distant shores by sea symbolized both prestige and modernity.
A rare and highly collectible piece of travel history, this original lithograph speaks to the glamour and global ambition of early 20th-century passenger liners.
