The Fabre Line (Compagnie de Navigation Fabre) was a French shipping company based in Marseille, active from the late 19th into the mid-20th century. It operated passenger and mail services connecting key Mediterranean ports—centered on Marseille—with North America, notably New York. The line played an important role in transatlantic migration and trade, providing routes for travelers, immigrants, and tourists alike. Fabre’s marketing featured the era’s signature travel-poster style, commissioning artists to showcase modernity, comfort, and the attraction of the Mediterranean on the way to the New World. Today, Fabre Line posters are popular for their mix of nautical history and iconic graphic design.
