Additional information:
Albert Brenet was a French painter, poster artist, and illustrator, best known for his maritime works and advertising posters, which helped shape the visual aesthetic of his time.

Brenet was particularly famous for his paintings of ships, ports and maritime scenes, as well as his promotional posters for various shipping companies, including the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT).

This poster was created to promote tourism through Messageries Maritimes to various destinations around the world including the Middle East, the Indian Ocean, the Far East, Australia, the South Seas and South Africa.

The poster features a large ship, the Mekong, moored in a harbor. The ship dominates the composition, with its imposing masts and funnel.

In the foreground is a busy harbor scene, likely in an Asian setting. Small boats, perhaps rowboats or sampans, can be seen in the water, as well as a crowd of people engaged in various activities. A person wearing a conical hat is visible, reinforcing the idea of ​​an Asian setting.

Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, commonly known as Messageries Maritimes (MM), was a prestigious French shipping company. It operated independently from 1851 until 1977, when it merged with Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT) to form Compagnie Générale Maritime (CGM).
