1912 Compagnie des Bateaux Omnibus illustrated Nile steamer letterhead with pyramids and palm vignette

Egypt 1912 - Compagnie des Bateaux Omnibus (Nile Steamer Illustrated Letterhead)

Original 17 October 1912 illustrated letterhead of the Compagnie des Bateaux Omnibus, printed on pale beige laid paper with a finely executed lithographed masthead.
