I should get out my old ocean liner ads and scan them....

You should!

There was one really beautiful sort of minimalist piece in there, advertising a cruise line, that I really liked - had the bright fabric of a sling-style beach chair but no frame, only the slightest hint of a boat rail, and the deck sort of faded away into the sea. Lovely piece.

I loved that piece as well.

The French Line (Compagnie Générale Transatlantique) had some very fun ads in the 50's. I'll try and dig one up.
