A mint condition Canadian Pacific poster for one of CPs greatest liners, the Empress of Britain (1935). It was designed by Roger Couillard (1910-1999), Canada’s greatest travel poster designer. Couillard was born in Montreal and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. In 1935, the Institute of Foreign Travel organized a poster competition on the theme of "See Europe Next." Couillard's poster was among those chosen and exhibited in Ogilvy's department store. By 1937, he had opened his own design studio in the Drummond Building on Ste. Catherine Street in Montreal.
