1970s "Normandie" Lithgraph Poster in color after Adolphe Mouron Cassandre (French, 1901-1968) original 1935 poster.

One of the most famous images in poster art, Cassandre’s design for the Normandie is as powerful as it is magnificent. “The arrival in New York Harbor of the gigantic super-liner Normandie will inaugurate a new era of transatlantic travel. She will set new standards of luxury and speed, steadiness comfort and safety...not merely the largest liner afloat (79,280 tons)...but in almost every respect a new kind of liner!” (Transatlantique Advertisement). And in almost every respect, this Cassandre masterpiece was a new way of selling the glamour and excitement of ocean liner travel. A deceptively simple, but impressive design with the ship towering above us, a flight of small birds at the bottom, giving the image as much scale and strength as the imposing hull itself. The classic design appeared with several variants of text at the bottom.
