EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic S. S. Empress of Britain, a renowned ocean liner that sailed the seas in 1931. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Finlay Photographic Press, who beautifully captures the grandeur and elegance of this magnificent ship. In the background, an exquisite painting depicts Champlain presenting his bride to the citizens of Quebec, adding a touch of historical significance to this image. Launched on June 11th, 1930 by HRH Prince of Wales, this luxurious vessel was unfortunately sunk during its service in World War II on October 28th, 1940. However, through this photograph we can still appreciate its splendor and imagine ourselves stepping into its opulent interiors. The photo reveals a stunning lounge area inside the ship adorned with tasteful furniture and split-level architecture. The color palette exudes warmth with hints of pink hues complementing the serene atmosphere created by natural light streaming through large windows. As we gaze at this print from The Studio Volume 102 published in London back in 1931, we are transported back to an era where travel by sea was considered glamorous and sophisticated. It serves as a poignant reminder of both the beauty and fragility of these floating marvels that once graced our oceans.
