Another wonderful poster designed by Padden to promote cruises on the "Atlantis". The poster depicts a smiling young woman carrying a water urn at a market in a North African location, probably Morocco.
The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was liquidated, and its assets taken over by the newly formed Royal Mail Lines in 1932. The same image was used on the front cover of the 1931 Royal Mail Line Spring & Summer Cruises brochure.
