Scope and Content

This folder contains only one item: Brochure (single page; penta & tri fold); 9" by 3-3/4" (closed), 9” by 18-3/4” (opened). The item is a rectangular pamphlet predominantly featuring a symmetrical pattern of white diamond shapes outlined in a darker tone, each enclosing a simple graphic of an anchor. The background color inside the diamonds is a soft aquamarine, while the spaces intersecting the diamonds adopt a lighter hue. Central to the pamphlet is an oval, coffee-colored label with serif font text stating "QUEEN ELIZABETH & QUEEN MARY." Above and below this label, in a smaller font and within inverted commas, the phrase "Getting there is half the fun" is printed. The top and bottom borders of the pamphlet are in a contrasting maroon color, bearing the capitalized text "CUNARD LINE" in a sans-serif typeface, with the bottom text mirrored to match the top orientation. The pamphlet's design suggests a mid-20th-century aesthetic, commonly associated with maritime travel advertising. Language: English.
