The Normandie was a luxury liner of the French Line. It entered service in 1935 and connected Le Havre, France, to New York via Southampton, England. Renowned Art Deco artists such as René Lalique, Jean Dunand, and Jean Dupas were involved in the ship’s interior, which was called a “floating Versailles” due to its extravagant decorations. This brochure was distributed to passengers and in the center shows a cut-away diagram of the ship’s interior drawn by the painter Albert Sébille (1874–1953). The ship sailed until the outbreak of World War II in 1939. It capsized during a fire while being refitted in 1942 and was scrapped in 1946.
