Description

This 1898 lithograph poster advertises the 'Grande Excursion en Orient' aboard the steamship Columbia, operated by the Compagnie Hambourgeoise-Américaine, departing Cherbourg on 15 February 1898. The dramatic composition features the vessel surging through blue-green waves against a warm amber sky, framed by a crescent moon listing the exotic ports of call from Hamburg to Alexandria and Algiers. On a wall, it reads as a rich, adventurous piece of maritime history that evokes the golden age of ocean travel.
