This is an original, authentic Danish shipping poster issued by The East Asiatic Company, locally known as Det Østasiatiske Kompagni (ØK). Designed by Sten Heilmann-Clausen, the poster features a striking design of six ships arranged in a fan formation against a green background. The ØK house flag is prominently displayed in the upper left corner, accompanied by text advertising regular passenger service to destinations like Australia, China-Japan, New York, the Pacific, the Straits, Bangkok, and India.
Founded by Hans Niels Andersen in Copenhagen in 1897, The East Asiatic Company (EAC) operated both passenger and freight lines between the Danish capital, Bangkok, and the Far East, eventually growing into one of Scandinavia’s largest companies. This poster would make an excellent addition to any wall!
The poster is in excellent condition, with only minor wear along the right margin.
This is an Authentic Original Vintage Poster from its time. It's not a new reproduction.
