An authentic poster from the europe-canada line, picturing the “m.s. Seven seas” (the name is writting at the bottom of the poster). The poster shows a large ship with a checkered flag in front of it with the canadian flag’s maple leaf symbol in the center. The m.s. Seven seas was one of only two passenger vessels that sailed this line from 1955 to 1967. The colourful poster is a piece of modern history as well as a beautiful appealing addition to the decor! it remains in very good, vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Reyn dirksen (1924–1999) studied at the institute of applied arts education, which is now the rietveld academy in amsterdam. He has created dozens of posters for a wide range of products. Many large companies as well as the municipality of amsterdam made use of his design talent. For amsterdam, he made a lot of posters for events, of which the most famous ones include hiswa, fashion week, klm and schiphol, heineken, bols, verkade, rizla, holland-america and dutch railways, red cross, etc. His most sought-after fairground posters, such as the lunapark, also date from that time and have become a real collector’s item. This includes the famous “all colours tot he mast” poster that was designed for the “intra-european cooperation for a better standard of living poster” by the george c. Marshall foundation. It was picked as the winner out of more then 10.000 designs from all over the world! the poster was seen as a visual metaphor of the poverty in europe during and after the second world war and the value of uniting the european countries, like a ship in raging water. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
