This vintage poster was created for the Messageries Maritimes, which was a French merchant shipping company from 1851 until it merged with another company in 1977. It advertises an ocean route that went from Marseilles to Djibouti via East Africa and Madagascar. Jean des Gachons created the image in the 1950s and it was printed Paris. He is also known for many poster images of the Grand Prix and other auto races.

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
