Finland Line - When traveling to Finland, use Finnish ships

This rare original vintage poster from 1931 was issued by the Finland Steamship Co., Ltd. to promote travel to Finland, with a focus on using Finnish ships. The slogan displayed on the poster reads: Matkustaessanne Suomeen käyttäkää suomalaisia laivoja - translating to "When traveling to Finland, use Finnish ships." The design showcases various photographs, illustrating aspects of the voyage to Finland, highlighting notable sites of interest as well as interior views from different vessels.

The main text on the poster invites travelers to journey to Finland via England, using Finland Steamship Co., Ltd. services, and offers further information through listed transport lines. The Finnish text, Matkustaessanne Suomeen käyttäkää suomalaisia laivoja SUOMEN HÖYRYLAIVA OSAKEYHTIÖ, emphasizes the use of Finnish steamships.

The poster's visual composition features several sepia-toned photographs arranged within a decorative blue border, providing glimpses of the ship’s interiors, scenic landmarks, and historic sites that travelers would encounter along their route. It serves as a compelling representation of early 20th-century travel advertising, blending elegance and historical context.

Condition-wise, the poster remains in very good shape, showing light age-related wear, including a water stain. It also has paper reinforcements at the top and bottom to aid in display, preserving its structure.
