The poster depicts an ocean liner with three chimneys at sea; below the image information on the dates of departure, ports of call and the tariffs. The S. S. Providence was a vessel built in 1913 for the "Compagnie française de Navigation à vapeur Cyprien Fabre & Cie" (Fabre Line). Like her sister ship Patria, she plied as a transatlantic liner between Marseille and New York from 1914 then until 1920, when they were both reassigned to carrying emigrants to New York from Naples, Palermo and Marseille. After the Wall Street Crash of 1929 Messageries Maritimes withdrew S. S.
