Normandie Poster
I've uploaded this poster to show the Streamline Moderne design of the Normandie for my group Streamline Moderne. www.flickr.com/groups/streamlinemoderne/ There are more photos and pictures of the ship in the group.
This poster shows the very clean straight smooth line of the liners details as it sweeps to the back and also how the bow is designed to cut the wind and slip through the stream.
By stretching the boat backwards it made the ship look longer and also emphasized the horizontal stretch seen in Streamline design.
Ribbons of windows sweeping back horizontally were incorporated into Streamline Moderne architecture and are a signature of the style. Notice also that the bridge, instead of being a flat surface facing the wind, it is swept back in a gentle curve to slide through the wind.
