For Paige's decade research project we are also designing posters to fit the style of our decades. Mine is 1910-1920, so I wanted to go with the very painterly/rough plakatstil (poster-style) look. It just so happens that the Titanic sank in 1912, so I decided to do a travel poster--taking place before the fact, of course.
EDIT 2/14:
Tweaked it a little bit, but I'm still not feeling the typography 100%
EDIT 2/15:
I think I found a winner. :)
These are some images I am using for inspiration:

I like the very top tweaked version of your poster. The typography works better with the image, it's a lot tighter and it's Defiantly your style :)
