Threatened by airlines, the French Line countered with this poster that emphasized stability, safety, comfort, style, and luxury. Colin indicates all of that here with the massive proportions of the ship at close range, the simplified linear treatment, the milling passengers on deck, and, above all, that formidable red-and-black stack.
