The poster, created between 1923 and 1947, captures a moment of anticipation and adventure as passengers gather on the deck of a steamer ferry at night. The artwork, skillfully crafted by Frank Mason, invites viewers into this enchanting scene. With meticulous attention to detail, Mason depicts passengers engrossed in conversation or gazing out towards their destination. In the background, a majestic sailing ship adds an element of nostalgia and romance to this picturesque setting.
