Booklet, Orient Line to Australia, Ships and Services
This is a Booklet. It was designed by E. McKnight Kauffer and printed by Lund Humphries and made for (as the client) Orient Line, Anderson, Green & Company Ltd.. It is dated ca. 1937 and we acquired it in 1963. Its medium is lithograph. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Kauffer developed a diverse graphic identity to promote Orient Line’s new passenger liners to Australia and New Zealand. He designed everything from luggage tags and table assignment cards to promotional pamphlets and posters. Kauffer’s Orient Line logo customized many objects of daily use, including tableware that remained in production for decades.
