About the poster: In this lively and intricately detailed poster, Rogier Miekel transforms a bustling passenger ship into a stage for comic exaggeration. Each deck is crowded with caricatured figures—officers, tourists, entertainers, and crew—engaged in a whirlwind of activities that parody life at sea. From elegant dinners to raucous parties, from romance to disorder, the chaotic humor offers both a satirical and affectionate glimpse of maritime travel in the postwar era. Produced in the 1960s, the work exemplifies Miekel’s distinctive style: dense compositions filled with narrative vignettes, sharp wit, and a playful eye for human folly.
