This is an authentic original vintage poster issued by the Holland-America Line, likely in the 1960s.
The poster features a vibrant color photo of the Captain inspecting the outdoor compass on deck, probably aboard the SS Rotterdam, also known as "The Grande Dame," which served as both an ocean liner and a cruise ship.
Text on the poster reads: "Holland-America Line - GO 'DUTCH' - YOU GET TWICE YOUR MONEY'S WORTH."
Founded in Rotterdam, Netherlands, the Holland-America Line operated from 1873 to 1989 as a Dutch shipping line, passenger line, cargo line, and cruise line, primarily between the Netherlands and North America. The company played a significant role in transporting hundreds of thousands of emigrants from the Netherlands to North America.
The poster is in overall very good condition, with minor wear and a small tear at the top mended on the verso. There are some crumbles as well, but these do not detract from its charm. This piece serves as a wonderful reminder of the golden age of ocean travel.
