Item Details
Description
Holland-America is a shipping and cruise company founded in 1873 that still runs today. From the beginning, the company shuttled both goods and people from Rotterdam to New York City and was a major part of the great immigration waves to America in the early 1900s. It is estimated that in its first 25 years in business, over 400,000 people took Holland-America to leave Europe for the New World. Pictured in this poster is Holland-America's crowning jewel ship, the SS Nieuw Amsterdam. Built in 1937, this ship was one of only two ships (the other being the Queen Mary) to turn a profit in the 1930s and was considered the height of elegance.
Rien Poortvliet (1932-1995) was a Dutch artist mostly known for his illustrations of animals and gnomes for children's books; this poster is certainly a departure for him. His works are quite wellknown in the Netherlands and he even has a small museum in his honor.
