Various (Duca Di Genova, Stampalia, Siena, Savoia, Europa, Bologna) |
A lovely company printed advertising card featuring six of the ships of the company's fleet (Duca Di Genova, Stampalia, Siena, Savoia, Europa, Bologna). The Stampalia and Siena are featured and they both served the company from 1913 and were sunk in 1916 therefore it's likely the card was produced during that period. Numerous interior views of the ships are also included. Extremely light corner and edge wear and extremely light marking to the front. Extremely light marking to the reverse. (VG+) |
