About the Item
This vintage maritime poster from the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT) promotes the "Lignes de la Méditerranée", showcasing a majestic passenger liner sailing through the Bay of Marseille. The image captures the elegance of mid-century French maritime travel, with the ship cutting smoothly through the blue waters, leaving a foamy trail behind.
In the background, the historic city of Marseille unfolds, with the iconic Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde perched atop the hill, watching over the bustling port. Visible as well are the Château d’If, famous from The Count of Monte Cristo, and the Îles du Frioul, reinforcing Marseille’s identity as the gateway to the Mediterranean.
During this period, the CGT was a leading French shipping company, operating transatlantic and Mediterranean routes. Their luxurious liners provided elegant passage for travelers, connecting France to North Africa, Italy, and beyond. This poster perfectly embodies the romance of ocean voyages, a time when sailing was not just a means of transport but an experience of refinement and adventure.
With its refined typography, striking color balance, and historical significance, this piece is a highly desirable collector’s item, evoking the golden era of Mediterranean travel.
