1950s Framed Promotional Print for United States Line ("Fastest Ocean Liner in the World")

This is a 1950s framed promotional print for the USS United States, flagship of the United States Line. Begun in 1921, United States Lines was originally a shipping company. They debuted the USS United States in 1952 as the fastest ocean liner and the boat, although retired to Philadelphia, actually still holds the Blue Riband – the award for the fastest transatlantic speed record. The print is signed by the artist.

Circa 1950s.

Approximately 23-1/2" in height by 32-3/4" in width.

Wood, canvas, plated brass, metal wire.

Two hooks, wire.

This is from a painting and print collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBGX11 LABEX1/12 SABEX3/16

7+ (Very Fine+): The print has a few very small scuffs and some overall yellowing. The paper backing has come away.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
