Henri Cassiers’s 1926 poster Red Star Line Belgenland sets the ocean liner on a direct, almost theatrical course towards the spectator. The ship advances from the centre-left, its dark hull cutting through brisk blue-and-white water beneath three red-and-black funnels. At the lower right, a bearded fisherman in a blue cap and open coat watches with pipe in hand. His weathered, traditional presence forms an effective counterpoint to the scale and modernity of the Belgenland, while the warm yellow sky gives the scene an atmosphere of clarity and expectation.

Created to promote the Red Star Line, the poster belongs to an era when transatlantic shipping companies relied upon ambitious graphic advertising to present the ocean voyage as both modern transport and an experience in its own right. Cassiers, a Belgian illustrator associated with Art Nouveau, was known for refined draughtsmanship and polished commercial imagery. Here, however, detail is disciplined by the demands of the street poster: the liner, figure and lettering are organised into a bold visual hierarchy that could communicate speedily and at a distance.

A closer look

The Belgenland dominates the middle ground, angled so that the eye travels from its bow along the length of the vessel. Its name appears in white on the dark hull, a small but precise identification amid the larger blocks of colour. White upper decks and red accents stand out against the dense blue-black mass below, while the repeating funnels and masts create a strong vertical rhythm. Flecks of pale colour in the sea suggest foam and reflected light, lending movement to an otherwise tightly controlled design.

The fisherman is more than a piece of foreground decoration. Cropped close to the edge and enlarged in relation to the ship, he gives the composition an emphatic sense of depth. His face is defined by a textured beard and a contemplative expression; a patterned scarf and folds of the open coat reward closer attention. The contrast between his rounded silhouette and the liner’s long, engineered profile brings together two different maritime worlds within a single scene.

Across the bottom, the words “RED STAR LINE” anchor the composition in large serif capitals. “STAR” is picked out in red, making the company name immediately memorable, while a row of stars beneath extends the motif into a decorative border. The typographic band is not merely a caption: its strong geometry balances the asymmetry above, where the ship presses in from one side and the figure occupies the other. Blue, warm yellow and emphatic red are used in broad, legible areas, with black and white sharpening both the vessel and the lettering.

Context and significance

Ocean-liner posters of the early twentieth century had to make immense machines intelligible and desirable at a glance. Rather than presenting the Belgenland as a remote profile on the horizon, Cassiers brings it forward with striking immediacy. The low viewpoint magnifies the bow, and the active surface of the sea turns the liner into a moving presence rather than a static technical record. Yet the fisherman prevents the design from becoming purely mechanical, placing modern transatlantic travel within a longer visual culture of seafaring.

The result combines commercial clarity with narrative suggestion. Its appeal lies not only in the imposing ship or the Red Star Line’s assertive identity, but in the carefully staged encounter between human figure, ocean and machine—a compact expression of the optimism surrounding maritime travel in 1926.

Choosing the right size and finish

Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.

If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.

The model in the listing images is holding the 16x16in (40x40cm) version of this art print.

Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.

Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.

Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.

Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.

Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.

This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Most orders are made locally and delivered in around 2–3 working days, depending on the product, size and destination.

We print and frame maps and artwork in 24 countries around the world, so your order is usually made close to you or your recipient. That means faster delivery, less time in transit, and no customs or import duty surprises.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.

Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.

Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.

We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.

Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.

Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.

All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.

If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Parla di quest'opera con il nostro team Trade & Projects

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.

Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.

Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.

Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.

Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.

Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
