Original Vintage Travel Poster Red Star Line Pennland Ocean Liner Cruise Ship

About the Item

Original vintage travel advertising poster for Red Star Line featuring stunning artwork by Charles Edward Dixon (1872-1934) of the SS Pennland cruise ship sailing in front of white cliffs with sailing boats by the coast and a tug boat named Josephine in the foreground. Founded in 1871 the Red Star Line provided transatlantic shipping and transportation services until the company was taken over by Holland America Line in 1935 after being declared bankrupt. Launched in 1920 as the Pittsburgh for the International Navigation Company, the transatlantic ocean liner was renamed Pennland by Red Star Line in 1926; she was converted into a troopship in 1940 and was attacked during World War Two in the Saronic Gulf and sunk in 1941. Printed in Brussels. Large size. Excellent condition, backed on linen.
