Here are ten “memograms” by Florence DeMuth, the resident artist aboard many of Canadian Pacific’s cruises in the late 1920s and 1930s. The drawings include scenes of Gibraltar, Naples, Venice, Greece, the Nile, Palestine, Zanzibar, South Africa, Buenos Aires, and Rio de Janeiro.

This combination of stops would only have been made on one of CP’s Africa-South America cruises that took place between 1928 and 1936. Though not mentioned in the name, the cruises also visited Mediterranean ports. The person who sold these to me said they were from circa 1935. In that year, the cruise was aboard the Empress of Australia and was advertised as “five cruises in one.” I’m tentatively dating the memograms to that year.
