A rare and spectacular Anton design for the Hamburg South America Lines fall service to the Antilles Islands and Brazils Amazon River basin. Whisking us away from rapidly-chilling northern climes, were set at a slight distance from the dockside bustle, allowing the grind-weary spectator to take in both the indigenous atmosphere and appreciate the majesty of the M.S. Monte Rosa, the vantage point providing us with a superb m,lange of elegance and sultriness. The Monte Rosa herself was destined to a rather unremarkable history as a passenger ship--first for the Hamburg South American line beginning in 1931 and later for the British, as the renamed Empire Windrush, as a part of the war reparations package of World War II--with one notable exception: For six months towards the end of WW II, the Monte Rosa served as the repairs workshop for the German battleship Tirpiz, sister ship to the infamous Bismarck. Anton was a native of Hamburg who started working for a local agency there., but from 1921 on, had his own studio where he produced a large body of work for Hapag, the big transatlantic conglomerate. Later, he became an art instructor at the Bremen High School of Art.
