EDITORS COMMENTS
Step aboard the festive Christmas Sunshine Cruise, as depicted in this delightful series of caricatures by Lewis Baumer for The Tatler in 1937. The holiday season of the 1930s saw an increase in popularity for sunshine cruises, offering a welcome escape from the gloom of everyday life. In this charming print, Baumer captures the diverse range of passengers enjoying their voyage at sea. A chic woman in a fur coat and hat, complete with a parasol, suns herself on the deck, while a group of men in blazers and straw boaters engage in animated conversation, their cigars clenched between their teeth. A couple, dressed in winter coats and scarves, gaze out at the vast expanse of the sea, perhaps dreaming of tropical climes. A man in a captain's hat and striped shirt supervises a game of shuffleboard, while another, in a bathing suit and goggles, prepares to take a dip in the pool, despite the winter weather. Baumer's humorous touch is evident in the image of a man in a top hat and monocle, who appears to be sunbathing upside down, while a woman in a long, flowing dress and gloves clutches a parasol as if preparing for a stroll on the beach. The Christmas Sunshine Cruise offers a glimpse into the social scenes of the 1930s, with its amusing and humorous portrayal of the various types of passengers on board. Whether it's the fashionable women in their elegant attire or the men in their blazers and boaters, Baumer's caricatures capture the spirit of the holiday season at sea.
