EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Illustrated London News showcases a diagrammatic drawing of the French ocean liner Normandie, created by renowned maritime artist G.H. Davis. The Normandie, a new giant of the sea, made history with a record-breaking Atlantic crossing in just four days, three hours. To put its size into perspective, the illustration includes comparisons with iconic landmarks such as Big Ben and the National Gallery. The Normandie was a marvel of engineering, with advanced turbo-electric machinery that, according to this illustration, was powerful enough to drive the entire underground railway system of London during rush hours. The top right corner of the print features photographs of the ship's first-class cabins, revealing the foldaway beds that provided luxurious accommodations for passengers. The Normandie, launched in 1935, was the epitome of elegance and innovation during the 1930s.

With its sleek lines, impressive size, and advanced technology, the Normandie set a new standard for ocean liners and captured the imagination of the public. This print is a testament to the fascination with ocean travel during the 1930s and the awe-inspiring nature of the Normandie, which held the Blue Riband for the fastest Atlantic crossing for several years. G.H. Davis's meticulous attention to detail and the Illustrated London News' commitment to showcasing the latest maritime developments make this print an essential addition to any collection focused on the history of ships and ocean travel.
