This poster stands out for its list of ports: Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin and Liverpool, all named as points of call or booking offices for the State Line, a Glasgow-based steamship company. The firm's ships ran across the Atlantic and took their names from American states, so an agency notice like this one would have helped emigrants and travelers in the British Isles book passage toward North America. Posters of this kind were printed in large runs and pasted up in shipping offices, railway stations and quaysides, where they served as both advertisement and a guide to the sailing networks that tied Scotland, Ireland and England to the wider world.
