Cunard to Canada £10 Special Ocean Fare

This is a wonderful and original vintage poster issued by Cunard, likely from the late 1920s, promoting special ocean fares for British emigrants. The text reads: "Canada for us! To Canada £10 Special Ocean Fare for British Emigrants irrespective of occupation - CUNARD."

During the 1920s and 1930s, these special fares were offered due to the Empire Settlement Act of 1922, a collaborative effort between the British and Canadian governments to encourage British resettlement within the Empire. The act facilitated programs offering reduced transportation fares, agricultural training, and financial aid to emigrants, making relocation to Canada more accessible.

The poster is in very good condition with light age wear and has been mounted on linen for preservation. It's a rare and significant piece, reflecting an important chapter in British emigration history.
