Promoting Antwerp as a city with both an international port and great artistic heritage, the artist (who is
unknown except for this poster) harmoniously aligns images of both themes. Against the colors of the Belgian
flag he depicts ships in the city’s harbor, and the great Art Deco skyscraper, the Boerentoren (the Farmer’s
Tower), against a darker silhouette of the city’s famous Cathedral of Our Lady. The excellent Art Deco image
is composed of only flat tones of color without the use of any outlining.
