What it is
A poster for an American steamship company sailing from San Francisco to Asia by way of Honolulu, with five sister ships on the route. A woman holds an umbrella.
Why it matters
It sits in the USC collection of Japanese shipping and railway posters because it sold the same Pacific crossing from the American end.
What to notice
The route reads in the headline as a sequence: Asia, Honolulu, San Francisco, the Orient.
The Pacific, sold from the American side.
