Hamburg- American Line

Entry/Object ID

B001.42.01

Scope and Content

The Hamburg-American Line awards itself in its individuality when it comes to the luxury available aboard a cruise liner. There is only one page of text which just highlights the first-class experience and intentions of the Hamburg-American line. The rest of the pamphlet is filled with black-and-white photographs of the different rooms and activities the ship's provide. It would seem that this line did not find it entirely necessary to explain in text why their cruises should be taken, and allowed the images to do the talking for them, further emphasizing the luxury of the ship.
