Title: An American Line poster [Go to resource]
Description: This American Line poster marks the transfer of their service from Liverpool to Southampton in 1893. As air travel was not an option at this time, (aeroplanes for passengers to travel on were not invented yet.) travel by sea to other countries (particularly for the British, as Britain is an island) was the only option. As many shipping companies operated the same route, advertising was used to attract customers away from rival companies. As this was before the wonders of television and radio, posters at this time were very popular.
