Hamburg-American Line / Far East. ca. 1962.
Schoppe conjures images of exotic Orientalism for Hamburg-American Line's trips to the Far East. HAPAG first launched trips to the Far East in 1885; by 1953, the company partnered with Norddeutscher Lloyd to provide monthly trips via the NDL's turbine-powered ship, Weserstein.
