WILLEM FREDERICK TEN BROEK (1905-1993) NEW YORK EXPOSITION MONDIALE / HOLLAND - AMERICA LINE. 1938. 38x24¾ inches, 96½x62¾ cm. Joh Enschede, Haarlem. Condition B+: minor repaired tears and restoration at edges, some slightly into image; minor overpainting in margins and over repaired pin holes in corners. Framed. For all the great graphic publicity produced for the New York World's Fair, among some of the best and rarest images were those designed by foreign shipping lines using the Fair as an enticement for their passengers. Both the Cunard White Star Line and Holland-America Line produced posters touting the event. Unlike American advertisements, these foreign images not only depicted the Trylon and Perisphere, but also used graphic Art Deco depictions of New York's skyline, which proved to be an incredible draw for foreign visitors. Ten Broek designed several powerful Art Deco posters for the Holland-America Line as well as KNSM. It is uncertain how often the Holland-America Line was able to offer this World's Fair service to its passengers, as the outbreak of World War II in 1939 (just a few months after the Fair began) would have severely limited, if not curtailed, the leisure activities of the ocean liner companies. This is the French version. Crouse p. 233, New York p. 115, Schipp & Affiche p. 111 (var).

WILLEM FREDERICK TEN BROEK (1905-1993) HOLLAND - AMERIKA LINIE. 1936. 37 3/4x25 1/4 inches, 95 3/4x64 cm. Joh. Enschede en Zonen, Haarlem, The Netherlands. Condition A-: minor foxing and darkening in margins; small foxing spots and minor creases in image; small replaced loss in upper left corner; unobtrusive repaired pin holes in corners. By employing a dramatic, Cassandre-esque, low-angle perspective of a sleek ocean liner, twisting it a little to the side and adding an Art Deco curve to its profile, Ten Broek creates a powerful, sweeping image. Unlike Cassandre's ship posters, which feature specific vessels, Ten Broek is not heralding the launch of a new liner, but rather glorifying the company and the concept of sea travel as a whole. This is the German version.

Est: $5,000 - $6,000
ARTIST: WILLEM FREDERICK TEN BROEK (1905-1993) SIZE: 24 1/2 x 38 in./62.2 x 96.5 cm PRINTER: Jon Enschede, Haarlem DESCRIPTION: Broek’s poster for the Holland-American line uses a montage of symbols: the World Fair’s Trylon and Perisphere, the Manhattan skyline, and the U.S. and Dutch flags to advertise excursions to the 1939 Fair. The ship is, appropriately, the Nieuw Amsterdam—one of the most beautiful ever built, according to some ship-lovers. She had just gone into service the year of this poster, and from October of 1939 to May of 1940 she traveled exclusively between the World Fair and Rotterdam. When the Germans overran Holland in 1940, she was stationed in Venezuela. She subsequently served as an Allied troop transport during the war. English, French, and German versions of the poster also exist; this is the Dutch-language variant. (Art Deco; Travel; Ships; New York)

New York/Holland-Amerika Lijn. 1938.Ten Broek's poster for the Holland-American line uses a montage of symbols-the World Fair's Trylon and Perisphere, the Manhattan skyline, the U. S. and Dutch flags-to advertise excursions to the 1939 Fair. The ship is, appropriately, the Nieuw Amsterdam-one of the most beautiful ever built, according to some ship-lovers. She had just gone into service the year of this poster and was in Venezuela when the Germans overran Holland in 1940. She subsequently served as an Allied troop transport during the war. English (see PAI-XXII, 104) and German (see PAI-XXVIII, 450) versions of the poster also exist; this is the Dutch-language variant. WILLEM FREDERICK TEN BROEK (1905-?)
