What it is
A 1910 poster for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique's fast mail steamer Espagne, lettered in Spanish.
Why it matters
The Espagne worked the line's routes to Spanish-speaking ports, so the poster spoke to those passengers. Eugène d'Argence drew it and F. Champenois printed it in Paris.
What to notice
The caption runs in Spanish while the company name stays French.
A ship sold in the language of the people it carried.
