What it is
A 1900 poster for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, announcing La Lorraine and La Savoie as fast twin-screw mail steamers.
Why it matters
Eugène d'Argence (1853-1920) drew ships for the French Line. Twin screws were the news in 1900, so the poster names them in its caption.
What to notice
The sheet is wider than it is tall, cut to the length of a hull.
A shipping line showing off its newest pair.
