EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster print transports us back to the 1930s, showcasing a stunning scene of the Suez Canal with Ellerman's City and Hall Lines' ships, the City of Benares and an unidentified sister ship, gracefully navigating the waterway. The sun sets over the tranquil canal, casting a warm glow on the Ferdinand de Lesseps statue in the right background. De Lesseps, an essential figure in the construction of the Suez Canal, stands proudly, symbolizing the engineering marvel that connects Europe and Asia. The ships, with their elegant silhouettes and smokestacks, evoke a sense of adventure and excitement for the journeys to exotic destinations such as Egypt, India, and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). This poster, produced by Ellerman's City and Hall Lines, showcases the allure of sea travel during the 1930s, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of leisurely cruises and global exploration.
