The Cunard Line had three 4-funnel ships; the
Lusitania
and her sister
Maurentania
launched within
9 weeks of each other in 1907; and the
Aquitania
followed seven years later. On posters and postcards
alike, Cunard would often advertise two sister ships by depicting only one image. Brown was primarily
a maritime painter but he also designed posters for the Cunard Line as well as others for specific travel
destinations.
