EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the opulence and grandeur of the steamship saloon in 1878. The interior of the grand ballroom on board the palace steamer ship Drew is depicted, with passengers elegantly scattered across both the main floor area and mezzanine. The lithograph, created by Currier and Ives, showcases a scene from late 19th century America, specifically New York. The columned walls adorned with intricate designs and a magnificent chandelier hanging from above create an atmosphere of luxury and sophistication. Passengers can be seen engaging in leisurely activities such as conversation, reading, or simply enjoying each other's company. Men dressed in formal attire converse with women donning elegant gowns that reflect the fashion trends of the Gilded Age. This image transports us back to an era when travel was considered a privilege reserved for upper-class individuals seeking entertainment and relaxation. It symbolizes not only a means of transportation but also an escape from everyday life. The lithograph serves as a testament to the advancements made during this time period in terms of technology and comfort on cruise ships. It offers viewers a glimpse into an extravagant world where steamships were floating palaces designed to provide utmost comfort to their privileged passengers. Overall, this print encapsulates both the beauty of its subject matter -the lavish ballroom- as well as its historical significance within American society during this transformative period.
