Around the World Travel Poster by George Hemming, 1932 Finish:Framed canvas The "United Provinces" map standsAround the World by George Hemming (1932) is a classic of interwar travel advertising, designed at a time when ocean liners and globespanning itineraries fired the public imagination. Hemmings poster distills that feeling of momentum and modernity into a striking Art Deco composition: deep maritime blue seas set off warm cream landmasses and sweeping red route lines that arc from continent to continent, while bold black titling anchors the design.
