Early 1950's poster issued by Messageries Maritimes promoting the company's routes to all parts of the world (Japon, Australie, Atlantique, Mer du Nord, Afrique du Sud). An evocative design with an image of a Hong Kong sampan girl and several Hong Kong style Chinese junks helping to unload the cargo from the large MM ship.
