This striking original poster from 2000 was created by Richard Roussel for CMA CGM, the French global shipping giant. Entitled “Tour du Monde” (World Tour), it celebrates the company’s worldwide maritime routes.
Rendered in Roussel’s distinctive stylised realism, the artwork features the bridge and containers of a vast CMA CGM cargo ship seen from above, sailing across a radiant turquoise ocean. The sun rises on the horizon, illuminating the sweeping curvature of the Earth, evoking the immensity of global trade and the promise of new horizons.
The poster’s geometric design, with colourful containers stacked in rhythmic precision, conveys order, power, and progress. Richard Roussel, known for his refined transport and maritime graphics, captures here the ambition of CMA CGM’s intercontinental network – a visual tribute to modern shipping that bridges continents.
An ideal acquisition for collectors of contemporary maritime art, corporate transport branding, or nautical ephemera, this poster embodies the dynamism and optimism of early 21st-century global commerce.
