2pc Compagnie de Navigation Sud-Atlantique Passenger Lists

This remarkable pairing of French ocean liner passenger booklets records the elite global diplomats and aristocracy crossing the Atlantic during the interwar period. The items feature striking Art Deco cover illustrations of a three-funnel ocean liner at sea executed by the celebrated French maritime painter Sandy-Hook, complete with a printed orange rooster emblem across the reverse covers and dual Chargeurs Reunis branding. The 1929 Paquebot Massilia booklet documents a Luxe and Premiere Classe roster carrying the prominent French politician and future Vichy government minister Jean Ybarnegaray. The accompanying Paquebot Lutetia booklet itemizes an equally elite luxury manifest featuring Marie de Lourdes Braz Scarpa, daughter of the President of Brazil, alongside French aristocrats Monsieur le Baron Horace de Menou and Madame la Baronne de Menou bound for premier ports of call between Bordeaux, Lisbon, and Rio de Janeiro.
