This is a charming and exceptionally rare original vintage poster commissioned by "Svenska Amerika Linien" to promote the Mediterranean cruise aboard the M/S Gripsholm in 1928.
M/S Gripsholm was a passenger ship crafted by Armstrong, Whitworth & Co, Ltd in Newcastle, England. She was handed over to Svenska Amerika Linien in Gothenburg on 27 November 1925, marking the company's maiden voyage with a newbuild.
The poster features a delightful, almost whimsical illustration, portraying tourists guided on camels and mules as they explore the grandeur of the Giza pyramids.
During this cruise, passengers embarked on a captivating journey to enchanting destinations, including Cairo, Thebes, Tangier, Gibraltar, Majorca, Monte Carlo, Naples, Athens, Seville, and Pompeii.
In very good condition, this poster is indeed a rare gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
