Poster promoting ocean travel. Features an image of a well dressed man and woman seated on a ship's deck, surrounded by a pink border. The title appears in the lower border in brown lettering. "The style, comfort, ease and grace of a three month, round-trip cruise to Australia is conveyed in the languidly elegant view of a couple at rest on deck. In addition to their smart outfits, the artist also captures the light and shadows cast by the southern Hemisphere's sun."--Swann Auction Galleries Catalogue, October 2014.
