An Unfolded German Travel Poster (measures 33" x 46 3/4" [84 x 119 cm]) (Learn More) The Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft (HAPAG for short and referred to in English as Hamburg America Line or Hamburg-American Line) was a transatlantic shipping enterprise established in Hamburg, Germany in 1847. It soon developed into the largest German (and at times the world's largest) shipping company, serving the market created by the German immigration to the United States and later immigration from Eastern Europe. In 1970, after 123 years of independent existence, HAPAG merged with the Bremen-based North German Lloyd to form Hapag-Lloyd AG. Artist: Albert Fuss Important Added Info: Note that this poster is promoting winter vacations to "to the tropical home of the gulf stream", and features art of a native in a tropical setting with a ship in the background. Note that the poster mentions several ships, including: Reliance (launched in 1914 and scrapped in 1940 after a fire), Cordillera (launched in 1933, damaged in WWII and later repaired), and Milwaukee (launched in 1929, seized by the British in 1945, and scrapped in 1947). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has thin strips of tape on the back of most of the right border, which bled through to the front, with tiny paper loss near the lower right blank border in the solid green area. Other than the above, the poster is in excellent condition. It can be displayed as is, or certainly, restoration could be performed. Either way, the new owner will have a wonderful poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
