This authentic stone lithograph vintage poster illustrates the steamship Rouen departing the harbor at Dieppe, capturing the excitement of early cross‑Channel travel connecting Paris and London. The dynamic composition shows the SS Rouen cutting through the waves as it leaves Dieppe harbor, accompanied by a smaller boat in the foreground. Bright maritime colors, lively water movement, and bold lettering create a powerful image of early 20th‑century sea travel. At the bottom of the poster appears the title “Le ‘Rouen’ à la sortie de Dieppe”, along with emblems representing the Chemins de Fer de l’État and the British Southern Railway, highlighting the coordinated rail‑and‑ferry service linking France and England. The vessel Rouen (III) was built in 1912 for the Newhaven–Dieppe route and served passengers traveling between Paris and London before being scrapped in 1947.
