About the poster: A humorous and affectionate caricature, this poster by Rogier Miekel presents a playful series of vignettes under the title “This is our Captain … and this is how he is seen.” Each illustration captures the captain as perceived by different figures around him—his crew, passengers, family, and even his dog—ranging from heroic navigator to comic tyrant, indulgent gourmand, and romantic figure. Produced in the 1960s, this work reflects the era’s fondness for lighthearted, satirical maritime art and remains a charming testament to seafaring culture and shipboard hierarchies.
The poster has ruffle margins on the right side. Ready to frame !
