Here is a similar view of MAURETANIA's pool deck area--not at all as spacious as Lizzie's!

Unfortunately not. I think it is Queen Elizabeth. It is from this National Geographic advertisement.

Anyone else have adds that they can share?

I have hundreds! Any special ships or steamship lines you are requesting?

I love the 'old' ads, they are great fun. Which is your favourite? Or is it a hard choice?

It is a hard choice--I love most of them for various reasons--but I think the ones depicting scenes of life on board are wonderful, like your second French Line advert. Some of the oldest ones in my collection are quite interesting, but they are in black & white and not as striking. Here's one from before World War I-- it appeared in National Geographic in April, 1914--an entirely different world then:

Back to people. I appreciate this is not a ship or line, but another of my favourite all time old ads is this one:-

again from Dec 1930. I laugh at the excitement over a typewriter How times do change in some things, but not in others. I think I would be most aggrieved being given a fridge for Christmas

Rich,

Do you have any American Export from the 50's or early Moore McCormack? I sailed on Grace line but don't know if they advertised on NG.

-----------------------

Here's a fascinating 'people' ship advert from March, 1939. It shows a Shirley Temple look-alike gleefully board the Nazi flagship BREMEN, apparently for one of her legendary Midnight sailings. Even though the text says she's sailing Hapag Lloyd, this is definitely the enclosed Promenade of BREMEN :

Maybe 8 or 10 years earlier, this would have been a great trip--she's one of my favorite ships. But by March 1939, sailing under the Swastika must have been quite an uncomfortable adventure!

I have several Moore-Mac, American Export, and Grace Line adverts from the 1930s and 1940s, but very little from the '50s.
Here's an American Export advert from 1953:

And here's one for Moore McCormack's new ships, 1958:

Is this the one you mean?
