This striking original poster by the famed French maritime illustrator Albert Sébille presents an extraordinary cross-section of the legendary SS Normandie, the flagship of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, also known as the French Line.
Rendered in exquisite detail, this cutaway view reveals the majestic liner's internal architecture—from engine rooms and salons to luxury suites and public spaces. Sébille's signature precision and artistic clarity make this piece not only visually captivating but historically invaluable. It invites viewers into the heart of the ship, capturing the Art Deco opulence, technical innovation, and cultural pride that defined the Normandie.
Launched in 1935, the Normandie was a triumph of French engineering and design—at the time, the largest and fastest passenger ship in the world, holder of the coveted Blue Riband. Sébille’s illustration underscores her status as an icon of modernity and elegance, celebrated for her streamlined profile, lavish interiors, and revolutionary technologies.
More than a poster, this is a technical and artistic marvel—a collector's piece that speaks to the golden age of ocean liners and the enduring fascination with transatlantic travel. A rare tribute to one of the greatest ships ever built, brought to life by one of the greatest maritime illustrators of the 20th century.
