Description

This vintage 1913 travel advertisement for the Hamburg-American Line features a dramatic illustration of the S.S. Imperator, a grand ocean liner, steaming forward with smoke billowing from its funnels against a hazy sky. The poster promotes world cruises through the Panama Canal as well as summer cruises to Jamaica, Cuba, and Colombia, reflecting the golden age of luxury transatlantic and leisure ocean travel. The Hamburg-American Line (HAPAG), founded in 1847, was one of the world's largest shipping companies of the era, operating out of Hamburg, Germany, with a major U.S. hub in New York City.
