If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that a collector sent us an image of a print ad for this company which is dated from 1930, so it is quite possible that this poster is from much earlier than we first believed (although of course, it is possible that the company was still in business much later). It is interesting to note that the ad shows a round-the-world cruise on the American Mail Line only cost $1370 in 1930! Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded and had the most minor of border defects. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great!
