    I found these a while back at a local thrift store & was wondering about them; they are on some kind of board & I can't tell if they are prints - or a photo?
    They have a brass tag at bottom center.
    What is this? Travel agency promotional? Home decor?
    It doesn't seem that well made - or made with high quality?
    Also any idea of when it's from would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The photo was taken in the mid 1950's in NYC harbor. https://www.cruiselinehistory.com/us-lines-s-s-america…-the-lady-who-died-of-shame-luxury-liner-troop-carrier-immigrant-ship-casino-prison-hulk/The image has been made into postcards: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ss-Unite...99257?hash=item1c9104dcb9:g:cNsAAOSwfi9ZsbJ7

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Picture-...101639?hash=item4646985f07:g:gGYAAOSwNyFWebP1 and numerous prints. The brass tag makes me think this print was for commercial use, such as in a travel agency.

    Hi,
    I had one with Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mary passing in the Atlantic. I got 250 dollars for it. I would buy this one just because the ships are gone.

    This listing is removed. The SECOND description is for this. It says travel agency.
    But yours is not necessarily the same year.
