This is a stunning original vintage poster issued by the Canadian Pacific with the slogan: "Canadian Pacific, Spans the World, Most convenient route to Canada - USA - Japan - China - New Zealand & Australia".
The poster depicts a stunning rendering by Gribble depicting the RMS Empress of Scotland at sea. The RMS Empress of Scotland, originally SS Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, was an ocean liner built in 1905–1906 for the Hamburg America Line. The ship regularly sailed between Hamburg and New York City until the outbreak of war in Europe in 1914.
In 1921 the ship was refitted for Canadian Pacific Steamships and renamed "Empress of Scotland", the first of two CP ships to bear that name.
I great condition. Some light restorations at top. Mounted on linen. Stunning!
