EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures an interior view of the A Deck staircase on the iconic RMS Aquitania, taken by the renowned British photographer Bedford Lemere in August 1923. The RMS Aquitania, launched in 1913, was the third express ocean liner built for the Cunard Line, following the Mauretania and Lusitania. With a capacity to carry over 2000 passengers, she was the last four-stack liner to be built. The image showcases the grandeur and elegance of the ship's design, with the intricately carved pillars and ornate railings of the staircase taking center stage. The muted lighting adds to the atmospheric feel, creating a sense of tranquility and sophistication. The reflection of the light on the polished surface of the staircase adds depth and texture to the photograph, making it a captivating visual representation of the golden age of ocean travel. The RMS Aquitania was known for her sleek lines and luxurious amenities, offering passengers a comfortable and enjoyable journey across the Atlantic. This photograph provides a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the ship's interior, transporting us back in time to an era of glamour and elegance on the high seas.
