The United Netherlands Navigation Company was formed in 1920 as a conglomerate of eight titans of the Dutch shipping world, combining to establish even greater domination of the global market of shipping. By 1924, the merger combined their African routes into one umbrella company, the Holland Afrika line. Here we see the joys of a maiden voyage on the Line's latest vessel in 1958.

Frans Mettes (1909-1984) was a Dutch illustrator, who we unfortunately were not able to find out much about aside from his images for Hamburg Lines.

What People Are Saying...

  • 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.

    - Kasia & David

  • 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.
