A striking framed reproduction of A. M. Cassandre’s celebrated 1935 Normandie travel-poster design. The ocean liner’s monumental bow, small white seabirds, French tricolor, and bold lettering capture the streamlined geometry and dramatic scale of Art Deco advertising. The design promotes the French Line route between Le Havre, Southampton, and New York.
This example is a later poster reproduction published by Pomegranate, presented in the black molded frame shown. Framed dimensions: 24 × 36 inches.
The lower margin identifies A. M. Cassandre (1901–1968), the title Normandie, and the original design date of 1935. It carries publication No. 1298, credits the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress, and states “Printed in Korea.” The date 1935 refers to the original design, not the printing date of this reproduction.
The Cassandre name within the image is part of the printed design. No hand signature or limited-edition numbering is represented; No. 1298 is the publisher’s reference number.
Condition: Frame may show signs of handling and wear. Poster has small area of dirt visible.
Price includes the framed piece pictured. One available.
