About This Item
David & Charles, Newron Abbot, UK 1971 Hardcover, 9¾" x 7½", with dust jacket Original bookseller's label inside cover. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, barcode etc. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Red cloth-bound boards with gold type to spine, 92 b&w photographs (on glossy paper), and Index (Ships & People). In the late 1890s luxury liners began to appear on the North Atlantic passenger routes. This attractively illustrated study presents the magnificent interiors of such famous ships as the 'Aquitania', the 'France', the 'Queen Mary', and the 'United States'. It is as much a social as a maritime study, reflecting in the world afloat the swing from an exclusive (luxury) to an egalitarian (cruising) society. - with a dash of nostalgia for the splendours of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
